Psyllids (Siphonaptera)

They are insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They have a high breeding speed and persistence that makes them difficult to fight. Their action is perceived by their annoying and irritating bites.
  • Pulex irritans (human flea or irritant flea): it is the most representative species. The most representative species is the most common flea. It is a cosmopolitan species that, despite the common name, has a wide range of hosts.
  • Ctenocephalides canis (dog flea): It occurs worldwide and is the dominant flea found on dogs. It has come from Africa. It is relatively commonly found in wild species such as wolves, foxes and coyotes especially in northern regions.
  • Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea): It is an extremely common parasitic insect with the domestic cat as its main host, although a large proportion of fleas found on dogs also belong to this species.
  • Echidnophaga gallinacea (poultry flea): Stays permanently attached to a host.

Studies have observed that the population of fleas consists of: eggs (50%), larvae (35%), nymphs (10%) and only 5% of larvae. For the most effective control of fleas, it is important to kill them at the larval-adult stage and even more important to stop egg production and the adult stage.
