| [study of siphonaptera in somalia]. | in the period 1982-1984 samples of fleas were collected from wild animals of the middle scebeli, low scebeli and bay regions of somalia. in total 1,335 specimens (486 males and 849 females) were obtained from 17 species of mammalian hosts out of the 19 examined. the following species of fleas were identified: echidnophaga gallinacea, e. larina, e. murina, ctenocephalides felis strongylus, synosternus burtoni, s. somalicus, s. burtoni, s. somalicus, c. felis strongylus and e. larina are known to ... | 1988 | 3271983 |
| effect of ctenocephalides felis strongylus infestation on the performance of west african dwarf sheep and goats. | a study of ctenocephalides felis strongylus and of its effect on the performance of sheep and goats was made. fleas showed more affinity for sheep than goats. there was a high concentration between lamb and kid mortality and the degree of flea infestation. the clinical effects of flea infestation are highlighted. the factors responsible for flea infestation and its control are discussed. | 1982 | 7112890 |
| various hosts of ctenocephalides felis strongylus. | infestation of exotic and indigenous breeds of cattle, sheep and goats with ctenocephalides felis strongylus in a dairy farm is reported. many of the fleas were engorged with fresh blood. traps set up in the pens caught two bush rats which were heavily infested with the same flea species, most of which were also engorged with fresh blood. it was suggested that the fleas might have been introduced into the pens by rodents such as bush rats. | 1982 | 7168133 |
| parasites of domestic and wild animals in south africa. xliv. fleas (insecta: siphonaptera: pulicidae) collected from 15 carnivore species. | fleas were collected from 61 wild carnivores belonging to 13 species in various nature reserves and on farms, two feral domestic cats in a nature reserve and a domestic dog in the city of johannesburg. eleven flea species, including two subspecies of one of these, belonging to six genera were recovered. amongst these only ctenocephalides felis felis and ctenocephalides felis strongylus are considered specific parasites of carnivores. the remaining ten species normally infest the prey animals of ... | 2004 | 15185570 |
| [some ecological parameters of ctenocephalides felis strongylus (jordan, 1925) (siphonaptera: pulicidae)]. | among the fleas of medico-veterinary interest, ctenocephalides felis (bouché, 1 835) is the one most studied. this taxon includes two subspecies: ctenocephalides f. felis, and ctenocephalides f. strongylus (jordan, 1925); only c. f. felis has been the subject of almost all the studies available. we were, thus, interested in c. f. strongylus which can be regarded as the species of substitution of c. f. felis on the african continent. the purpose of our work was to establish some biological parame ... | 2006 | 16800125 |
| epidemiology of flea infestation of ruminants in libya. | the results of an epidemiological and clinical study of flea infestations of farm animals in northern libya is reported. of 12,130 sheep examined from 124 flocks, 150 sheep were found to be infested with fleas from 50 different flocks. likewise 23 goats from 2981 examined, and 11 calves from 1124 cattle examined were infested no fleas were recovered from camels or horses. of 1861 fleas recovered from farm livestock, 1857 were ctenocephalides felis strongylus and 4 were pulex irritans. dogs from ... | 2006 | 16962246 |
| comparison of the activity of selamectin, imidacloprid and fipronil for the treatment of cats infested experimentally with ctenocephalides felis felis and ctenocephalides felis strongylus. | twenty adult, domestic short hair cats were randomly allocated into four groups of five cats and housed in separated cages. each cat was infested with 25 fleas ctenocephalides felis felis and 25 ctenocephalides felis strongylus and 2 days later (day 0) the cats in group 1, 2 and 3 received a spot on application of selamectin, imidacloprid or fipronil, respectively, while the cats in group four were not treated. the cats were combed 48 h later, the fleas were removed, counted and their subspecies ... | 2007 | 17034950 |
| [influence of the temperature on the development of the african cat flea ctenocephalides felis strongylus (jordan, 1925) (siphonaptera : pulicidae)]. | ctenocephalides felis (bouché, 1835) commonly called "cat's flea" presents two recognized subspecies: ctenocephalides felis strongylus (jordan, 1925), observed in the african continent, and ctenocephalides felis felis (bouché, 1835) in the other regions (north africa, europe and america) (ménier and beaucournu, 19991. in sub-saharan africa, the principal flea found in the pets and certain livestock (ovine, caprine and bovine), belongs to the subspecies c. f. strongylus. some bio-ecologic paramet ... | 2010 | 20597443 |
