Human Flea Pulex irritans Linnaeus, 1758 (Insecta: Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) by Chad L. Cross, Estelle Martin, Lucas Brendel

“…Though its relative abundance and overall medical importance is disputed, this flea has been implicated as a potentially important vector of the human pathogens causing plague and murine typhus as well as serving as a potential vector of a tapeworm known to parasitize humans (Eldridge and Edman 2004). This review is intended for a general audience interested in understanding the biology, ecology, and medical importance of the human flea. …”
