Abstract:

Background and Objective: Human flea is assumed as the most dominant ectoparasite associated with transmitting diseases via biting humans. Insecticides are widely employed to curb this vector. Assessment of susceptibility level of populations to various pesticides is necessary for taking appropriate control measures. Materials and Methods: Subsequent to collection of human flee from indoor areas of Khodabandeh and Mahneshan located in Zanjan province from August 2013 to November 2014, they were kept under standard laboratory conditions. The samples were exposed to inconsistent doses of Permethrin and Lambdacyhalothrin and consequently their mortality rates were assessed after 24 hours. Results: Out of 1074 collected fleas, 88.1% were Pulex irritans, 7.2% Ctenocephalides cani and 4.7% C. felis. Bioassay[s1]  results gave evidence to homogeneity of study population. LD50 values for permethrin and lambdacyhalothrin were 288.40 – 295.15 µg/ cm2 and 21.87 – 24.54 µg/cm2, respectively. Conclusion: High levels of LD50 values to pyrethroides of human flea in the studied area indicated the requirement of more attention of health workers to control the vector and Further[s2]   research is necessary to assess the resistance status of human flea to alternative effective insecticides.

ارزشیابی سطح حساسیت کک انسان (pulex irritans) نسبت به پیرتروئیدها

زمینه و هدف: کک انسان مهم ترین انگل خارجی است که با خونخواری از انسان بیماری های خطرناکی را منتقل می کند. به کارگیری حشره کش ها، مهم ترین شیوه ی کنترل این ناقل محسوب می شود. تعیین سطح حساسیت جمعیت های این گونه نسبت به سموم رایج در تدوین برنامه های کنترلی ضروری به نظر می رسد. روش بررسی: از شهریور 1392 تا آبان 1393 نمونه های زنده ی کک از اماکن داخلی شهرستان های خدابنده و ماهنشان استان زنجان جمع آ...

آلودگی ریکتزیایی و بارتونلایی در کک انسان (Pulex Irritans)

Background and Objective: Human flea (Pulex irritans) is one of the most important human ectoparasites that transmits various pathogens and causes skin irritation by biting humans and animals. Planning control measures against this vector in various regions requires the knowledge of the pathogens within the vector. Thus, this study was carried out to identify Bartonella and Rickettsia infection...

Burrowing Owls, Pulex irritans, and Plague.

Western Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) are small, ground-dwelling owls of western North America that frequent prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) towns and other grasslands. Because they rely on rodent prey and occupy burrows once or concurrently inhabited by fossorial mammals, the owls often harbor fleas. We examined the potential role of fleas found on burrowing owls in plague dynamics b...

Repellency Effect of Essential Oils of some Native Plants and Synthetic Repellents against Human Flea, Pulex irritans (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae)

BACKGROUND Fleas are important vectors of human and animal disease, and control measures for protection against their bites and flea-borne diseases are necessary. METHODS The essential oils (EOs) of four native medicinal plants, Ziziphora tenuiore, Myrtus communis, Achillea wilhelmsii and Mentha piperita were isolated by hydrodistillation technique and analyzed by GC-MC. The repellent activit...
