Abstract

<p>From May 2010 to January 2013, a survey was conducted on ixodid ticks (Ixodidae) and fleas (Siphonaptera) infesting dogs and cats living in Toyama Prefecture, Honshu, Japan. A total of 123 dogs and 77 cats were found to be infested. Haemaphysalis flava, H. longicornis, Ixodes nipponensis, I. ovatus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Chaetopsylla mikado, and Ctenocephalides felis were collected from dogs. Ixodes nipponensis, I. ovatus, Ch. mikado, and Ct. felis were collected from cats. The main species were H. longicornis, Ct. felis, and I. ovatus in dogs, and Ct. felis in cats. Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Ch. mikado were newly recorded in Toyama Prefecture. Spotted fever group rickettsial genes were detected from H. flava, H. sp., I. nipponensis, and I. ovatus. The pathogenic of these rickettsiae was not clear.</p>
