| investigation of haematophagous arthropods for borreliae--summarized data, 1988-1996. | blood-sucking arthropods, collected in south moravia, czech republic, were examined by darkfield microscopy for borreliae from 1988 to 1996. among host-seeking ixodid ticks (8481 ixodes ricinus (l.), 372 dermacentor reticulatus (fabr.), 167 haemaphysalis concinna koch), borreliae were only observed in adult (23.2%), nymphal (17.2%) and larval (6.3%) i. ricinus. the prevalence of borreliae in i. ricinus did not vary considerably among habitats except for lower values in agroecosystems, xerothermi ... | 1998 | 9516997 |
| species of flea (siphonaptera) infesting pets and hedgehogs in germany. | the species of flea infesting pets and hedgehogs in germany were investigated through a survey of small animal practitioners throughout the country who were asked to collect specimens at their veterinary practices. a total of 625 veterinarians/veterinary practices responded and provided 2445 intact anti identifiable flea specimens. these fleas originated from 294 dogs (795 fleas), 334 cats (1152 fleas), 76 hedgehogs (481 fleas), five domestic rabbits (10 fleas), one golden hamster (four fleas) a ... | 2001 | 11393815 |
| [seasonal dynamics of a flea number (siphonaptera) on the common shrew (sorex araneus) in the north part of the novgorod oblast]. | in the course of 5-year stationary investigations of the common shrew sorex araneus in the north part of the novgorod oblast, 12 flea species have been recorded on this host. among them, palaeopsylla soricis and doratopsilla dasycnema are specific parasites of small insectivores, including the common shrew. hystrichopsylla talpae is a polyxenous species, parasitizing both rodents and insectivores. other 9 flea species are not common parasites of s. araneus and apparently have come to this host f ... | 2004 | 15656093 |
| [fleas of small mammals and birds in the forest-park area of the city of novosibirsk]. | the distribution of fleas of small mammals and birds in the nidi of tick-borne encephalitis was analysed. 23 species were recorded from the forest-park zone. palaeopsylla soricis starki, amalaraeus penicilliger penicilliger, megabothris rectangulatus, ctenophthalmus assimilis, hystrichopsylla talpae were dominant. they amounted to 90% of the total number of fleas. the greatest species variety of fleas was noted in afforested low-lying parts with rich species composition of hosts. | 2012 | 3387118 |
| ectoparasite load in the crested porcupine hystrix cristata linnaeus, 1758 in central italy. | the crested porcupine hystrix cristata is a large body-sized rodent, occurring in europe only in the italian peninsula, where it may have been introduced in early medieval times. its parasite fauna is currently poorly known and limited to few anecdotal observations. we have analyzed the ectoparasite load of 165 crested porcupines from tuscany and latium (central italy). both captured and road-killed individuals were checked for fleas and ticks. overall, only 39 porcupines were infested by four s ... | 2015 | 25773184 |
| fleas (siphonaptera) in the nests of dormice (gliridae: rodentia) in lithuania. | negative effects of flea (siphonaptera) parasitism on the host may be expressed in different ways. the aim of this study was to assess distribution of the flea fauna in nests of dormice in lithuania. nests of glis glis (l.), dryomys nitedula (pallas), and muscardinus avellanarius (l.) were collected from nest boxes in 2012 and 2013. fleas were collected from nests in the laboratory and put into plastic tubes with 70% ethanol. flea species were identified using morphological keys. from 400 nest b ... | 2015 | 26334823 |
| [species composition, abundance, and annual cycles of fleas (siphonaptera) on bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) in the western part of vologda province (babaevo district)]. | a total of 383 fleas of 11 species were collected from 428 bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) near babaevo vill. (59 degrees 4', n, 35 degrees 8' e). three species (amphipsylla rossica, doratopsylla dasycnema, palaeopsylla soricis) are not typical for these rodent hosts, moving onto the latter occasionally from other animals, such as the common vole microtus arvalis and shrews inhabiting adjacent or similar biotopes. peromyscopsylla bidentata, infesting the bank vole in the most part of its ra ... | 2014 | 25464742 |
| [parasite-host relationship of flies and small mammals in the omsk region]. | a generalized analysis of data on a flea fauna, range of their hosts in various natural zones, and features of parasite-host relationships between fleas and small mammals obtained in the omsk province during long term researches in 1963-1997 is given. 35 flea species are recorded. the most mass species both on animals and in their nest is ctenophthalmus assimilis; the numerous species are amalareus penicilliger, megabothros rectangulatus, m. walkeri, peromyscopsylla silvatica, ctenophthalmus unc ... | 2007 | 11558335 |
| [the seasonal dynamics of fleas (siphonaptera) on bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) in the north part of novgorod region]. | the twelve flea species were revealed on bank voles. only four of them (amalaraeus penicillige, ctenophthalmus uncinatus, megabothris turbidus, peromescopsylla bidentata) were abundant in some seasons of the year. four other species (ct. agyrtes, hystrichopsylla talpae, p. silvatica, rhadinopsylla integella) are the parasites of bank vole too but their numbers were always low in the study area. the four last species (amphypsylla rossica, m. walkeri, doratopsylla dasycnema, palaeopsylla soricis) ... | 2010 | 12916396 |
| the flea ovary: ultrastructure and analysis of cell clusters. | panoistic ovarioles are found in the order of fleas (siphonaptera). only in some species of the hystrichopsylloidea do polytrophic meroistic ovaries occur. no stem cells and no dividing cystocytes are found in female imagines of hystrichopsylla talpae. however, each germ cell cluster consists of 32 cells which are generated by five mitotic cycles during the pupal stage. one of the cells containing five intercellular bridges becomes the oocyte, the others serve as nurse cells. thus, germ cell clu ... | 1988 | 18620245 |
