Book Description
This book is the first comprehensive account on the flea fauna of Fennoscandia and Denmark. Totally 89 species/subspecies are treated of which 69 have been found in the region. The remainder are known from neighboring areas and may turn up. The introductory part gives a brief historical overview of the earliest literature on fleas and a more detailed account of the Scandinavian literature up to the present. This is followed by a discussion of flea-host associations in relation to distribution in a general and Scandinavian perspective. Other chapters deal with life history, medical importance, morphology and collecting/preservation of fleas, and are followed by a flea–host index. The systematic part, amply illustrated with Frans Smit’s outstanding line drawings, provides identification keys to adult fleas from family to subspecies. For each species/subspecies relevant available information on synonymy, identification, distribution, host relations and biology is given. The book concludes with a summary of the provincial distribution of fleas in Fennoscandia and Denmark, a bibliography and a taxonomic name index.

Category : Fleas

Pages : 774
Book Description
The proper identification of fleas forms a sound basis for disease prevention and flea control. This publication, prepared primarily as a taxonomic revision, will help those called upon to identify the species of these insects and recommend control procedures. Full descriptions are given of the genera ad higher groups, accompanied in most instances by figures. For species, subspecies, and varieties formal descriptions are avoided, but data have usually been supplied for each as follows: Indication of synonymy, name of type host, type locality, statement relative to range, and remarks upon identification characteristics, nature of original description, references to figures, published notes on biology or economic importance, and redescriptions.

Pages : 34
Book Description
Fleas are some of the world's peskiest insects! This book's easy-to-read text and larger-than-life color photos bring the flea's world to life, introducing readers to a flea's diet, habitat, enemies, and methods of defense. Diagrams help readers investigate the concept of metamorphosis and identify body parts, from the flea's sharp mouthparts to its long hind legs. The digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems are also described. A step-by-step approach to scientific classification helps place fleas within the order Siphonaptera. Readers are also encouraged to consider how fleas impact our daily lives, from pet care to bubonic plague. From cat fleas to rat fleas, young entomologists will enjoy uncovering the lives of these persistent creatures. Informative sidebars and Bug Bytes aim to peak readers' interest, while bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index enhance readability. Checkerboard is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.

Flea Biology and Control
Author: Friederike Krämer
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364256609X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The book describes in great detail the complex life cycle of fleas. The text is based on the example of the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), the most important ectoparasite. The cat flea parasitizes not only dogs and cats but also warm-blooded animals and even humans. Besides being the cause of painfully itching bites and allergic skin diseases it is also a vector for viruses, bacteria, nematodes and cestodes. Over the years the market for insecticide use in small animals has become a major segment of the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. Insecticides of the new generation should not only fight the existing infestation (therapy) but should also effectively prevent new infestations for weeks (prophylaxis). The latest class of chemicals developed to this effect are chloronicotinyls (syn. neonicotinoides). Imidacloprid is the first member of this class of insecticides with a high selectivity towards the site of action within an insect. Applied to the skin it combats flea infestation and prevents new infestations for at least four weeks. Flea Biology and Control describes the entire development behind the compound, starting with its discovery all the way to its use in the final product.
