Susceptibility of the Cat Flea, Ctenocephalides Felis
نویسنده
چکیده
The amounts of active ingredient required to kill adult Ctenocephalides felis fleas on filter insecticide impregnated papers were determined in an attempt to compare the activity of different active ingredients. The following compounds were tested: bioallethrin, deltamethrin, esbiothrin and permethrin. The LD50 and LD90 against Ctenocephalides lelis were 121 and 770 mg/m 2 respectively for bioallethrin, and 161 and 671 mg/m 2 respectively for esbiothrin. For deltamethrin and permethrin, the LD50 were 0.38 and 23 mg/m 2 respectively, and 15 and 60 mg/m 2 respectively for LD90.

متن کامل<em>Rickettsia felis</em> in Cat Fleas, <em>Ctenocephalides felis</em> Parasitizing Opossums, San Bernardino County, California
Los Angeles and Orange Counties are known endemic areas for murine typhus in California; however, no recent reports of flea-borne rickettsioses are known from adjacent San Bernardino County. Sixty-five opossums (Didelphis virginiana) were trapped in the suburban residential and industrial zones of the southwestern part of San Bernardino County in 2007. Sixty out of 65 opossums were infested wit...
متن کاملInfluence of temperature and humidity on survival and development of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae).
The survival and development of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, were assessed at various temperatures and relative humidities (RH). The upper and lower temperature limits for development (egg to adult) were 32 and 13 °C. The length of the developmental period ranged from 14 to 140 days at these temperature extremes. Complete development occurred from 50-92% RH. Immature C. felis reared at ...
متن کاملLarge-scale monitoring of imidacloprid susceptibility in the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis.
Although on-animal topical treatment with compounds such as imidacloprid has revolutionized the control of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), the development of insecticide resistance is a continuing threat. As part of a highly co-ordinated and unprecedented resistance monitoring programme for C. felis, 1437 flea isolates were collected by veterinary clinics...

متن کاملEffect of Rickettsia felis Strain Variation on Infection, Transmission, and Fitness in the Cat Flea (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)
Rickettsia felis is a human pathogen transmitted by the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché) (str. LSU), as well as an obligate symbiont of the parthenogenic booklouse Liposcelis bostrychophila (Badonnel) (str. LSU-Lb). The influence of genetic variability in these two strains of R. felis on host specialization and fitness and possible resulting differences on infection and transmission kin...
