Jump of the Oriental Rat Flea Xenopsylla cheopis (Roths.) [PDF]
Nature, 1972 THE spectacular and bewilderingly rapid jump of the flea has always excited the curiosity and wonder of naturalists. In an attempt to explain the mechanism of the jump we have re-examined the morphology of Xenopsylla cheopis, particularly the exoskeleton and musculature, and have combined this detailed study with a series of high speed cine films.

Molecular Ecology, 2011
Bartonella are emerging and re-emerging pathogens affecting humans and a wide variety of animals including rodents. Horizontal transmission of Bartonella species by different hematophagous vectors is well acknowledged but vertical transmission (from mother to offspring) is questionable and was never explored in fleas.

Effectiveness of Dichlorvos Vapor Against Xenopsylla cheopis in Containerized Cargo1
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1973Nenopsylla cheopis (Rothschild) is a potential source of Plague if present in containerized cargo being returned to the United States from plangue-endemic areas. As a control Measure against these fleas, dichlorvos-impregnated resin strips containing 18.6% toxicant were effective in simulated field tests conducted at Savannah, Georgia, in Conexes ...

Transovarial Transmission of Murine Typhus Rickettsiae in Xenopsylla cheopis Fleas
Science, 1985It has been generally accepted that infected fleas do not pass on Rickettsia mooseri , or indeed any other known pathogen, to their progeny. It is reported here that such transovarial transmission does occur in laboratory-infected Xenopsylla cheopis fleas.

A Practical Method for Mass Production and Transfer of Xenopsylla cheopis
The Journal of Parasitology, 1946In connection with endemic typhus experiments at the Eighth Service Command Laboratory, large numbers of Xenopsylla cheopis were required. This paper describes the method used for the mass production of this flea and their subsequent transfer. Although the rat is the usual host of X.

Experimental transmission of murine typhus by Xenopsylla cheopis flea bites
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1989ABSTRACT. Transmission of Rickettsia typhi to rats by the bites of Xenopsylla cheopis (Rothschild) fleas was investigated. Procedures rigorously excluded the possibility of contamination of the host skin by flea faeces. Fleas with R. typhi infection (21–25 days post‐infection) which fed through bolting cloth (45 min exposure to ten fleas) transmitted ...

Rickettsia Mooseri Infection in the Fleas Leptopsylla Segnis and Xenopsylla Cheopis
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1983Detailed observations on the acquisition and propagation of experimental Rickettsia mooseri infection in two species of fleas are presented. Rickettsia mooseri infection became detectable by means of the direct fluorescent antibody test about 2 days earlier in Leptopsylla segnis than in the putative vector, Xenopsylla cheopis.

Three new South African Xenopsylla (Siphonapt.)
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1928The examination of a collection of fleas, obtained during the last two years in the course of the investigation of plague amongst the rodents of the South African veld, has resulted in the finding of three new species of Xenopsylla, which are described below.My thanks are again due to Dr. K. Jordan and to Dr. G. A. K.
