EcologyPulicidae feed on mammalian blood. Ctenocephalides felis felis is also known as the cat flea, and is an extremely important parasite of domestic cats and dogs. They prefer to feed on areas round the head and neck of a cat, rather than the ventral part of the body.Hsu, M.H., Hsu, T.C., and Wu, W.J. (2002). Distribution of cat fleas on the cat. Journal of Medical Entomology. 39(4):685-8. The transmission of dog tapeworm is a result of this flea, as well. As for their effect on humans, they are also responsible for flea bite allergy dermatitis.Rust, M.K. and Dryden, M.W. (1997). The biology, ecology, and management of the cat flea. Annual Review of Entomology. 42: 451-473. Additionally, Pulicidae transmit Yersinia pestis, the bacteria responsible for plague.Eisen, R. J. et al. (2007). Early-phase transmission of Yersinia pestis by unblocked Xenopsylla cheopis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) is as efficient as transmission by blocked fleas. Journal of Medical Entomology. 44(4): 678-82.References{{Reflist}}External links{{Wikispecies}}{{Commons category}}{{Mecoptera & Siphonaptera}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q1946989}}{{Authority control}}{{flea-stub}} |
