Entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana reduce the survival of Xenopsylla brasiliensis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly those belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria have shown great promise as arthropod vector control tools. These agents, however, have not been evaluated against flea vectors of plague.

Occurrence and bacterial loads of Bartonella and haemotropic Mycoplasma species in privately owned cats and dogs and their fleas from East and Southeast Asia

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 704-720, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas are pathogens of veterinary and medical interest with ectoparasites mainly involved in their transmission. This study aimed at molecular detection of Bartonella spp. and haemoplasmas in cats (n = 93) and dogs (n = 96), and their related fleas (n = 189) from countries in East and Southeast Asia.

Plague risk in the western United States over seven decades of environmental change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 753-769, February 2022., 2022
The impacts of climate change on human and wildlife health remain poorly understood. Carlson and colleagues develop a new method for reconstructing these impacts, and show that since 1950, environmental conditions in the western United States have become more favorable for plague (Yersinia pestis), including both its maintenance in wild mammals and ...

The effect of substrate on survival and development of two species of desert fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)

open access: yesParasite, 2002
Fleas Xenopsylla conformis mycerini and Xenopsylla ramesis replace each other on the same rodent host (Meriones crassus) in two habitats that differ in substrate texture (sand and loess-like sediments, respectively). We hypothesized that the substrate is
