Flea-associated zoonotic diseases of cats in the USA: bartonellosis, flea-borne rickettsioses, and plague
Trends Parasitol.
2010 Apr.
Abstract
Cat-scratch disease, flea-borne typhus, and plague are three flea-associated zoonoses of cats of concern in the USA. Although flea concentrations may be heaviest in coastal and temperate climates, fleas and flea-borne disease agents can occur almost anywhere in the USA. Understanding flea-borne pathogens, and the associated risks for owners and veterinarians, is important to reduce the likelihood of zoonotic infection.
