Description

Two-hundred and fifty seven dogs and 264 cats from various areas of Japan were surveyed for flea species.Of 2, 520 fleas collected, 328 (13.0%) were of Ctenocephalides canis and 2, 192 (87.0%) of C. felis. No Pulex ir-ritans was identified. Composition rates of C. felis in total number of flea recovered from dogs and catswere 891 of 1, 174 (75.9%) and 1, 301 of 1, 346 (96.7%), respectively, suggesting a slight host preference in these two species of flea. Mix infestation rates of both species were 9.7% in dogs and 2.7% in cats examined. No apparent differences on the composition rates of C. felis were observed in sexes, ages and keeping areas of the hosts both in dogs and cats.
