Disease relevance of Fleas

Toxicity of linalool to life stages of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), and its efficacy in carpet and on animals [1].

High impact information on Fleas

The distribution of split 5.8S rRNA was studied in other Diptera and the most closely related order Siphonaptera to learn the origin of split 5.8S rRNA [2].
Determining a diagnostic dose for imidacloprid susceptibility testing of field-collected isolates of cat fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) [3].
Evaluation of the efficacy of dill apiol and pyriproxyfen in the treatment and control of Xenopsylla cheopis flea Roths (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) [4].
Efficacy and longevity of nitenpyram against adult cat fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) [5].
Burrows within black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado, were dusted with deltamethrin insecticide to reduce flea (Insecta: Siphonaptera) abundance [6].

Biological context of Fleas

Bionomics of fleas (Siphonaptera) parasitizing rodent hosts, mostly the gerbil Gerbillus dasyurus (Wagner) and the jird Meriones crassus Sundevall (Gerbillidae), were investigated in the central Negev desert of Israel. Populations were sampled weekly (by Sherman trapping of hosts) from August 2000 to July 2001 [7].
Cytogenetics of fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). 1. Rat fleas of the genus Xenopsylla [8].

Associations of Fleas with chemical compounds

Susceptibility of the cat flea (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) to pyrethroids [9].
Development of resistance to malathion in cat flea (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) [10].
Mode of action of lufenuron on larval cat fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) [11].
Laboratory and field trials of permethrin-treated cotton used as nesting material to control fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) on cricetid rodents [12].
Ovicidal and larvicidal modes of action of fenoxycarb against the cat flea (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) [13].

Gene context of Fleas

Rhadinopsylla (Actenophthalmus) mesoides Smit, 1957 (Siphonaptera, Hystrichopsyllidae) in Czechoslovak western Carpathians [14].
Notes on the geographical distribution and host preferences in the order Siphonaptera. Part 8. New taxa described between 1984 and 1990, with a current classification of the order [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Fleas

Development of a larval bioassay for susceptibility of cat fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) to imidacloprid [16].
