从1996年9月至2004年8月，在美国格鲁吉亚布洛克县的家犬中每月采集跳蚤。共采集蚤类8种2518只。最常见的跳蚤是猫蚤，猫栉首蚤（389只雄性和1148只雌性），其次是犬蚤，犬栉首蚤（250只雄性和285只雌性），一种多面手/食肉跳蚤，模拟蚤（106只雄性和213只雌性）和一种粘蚤，鸡棘头蚤（3只雄性和89只雌性）。少量的兔相关蚤（25只单纯Cediopsylla simplex和6只多棘齿蚤）和啮齿动物相关蚤（3只Orchopeas howardi和1只Polygenis gwyni），表明某些犬通过狩猎活动获得了这些特定的体外寄生虫。最常采集的五种蚤种的性别比均存在雌性偏倚。季节性，C。felis、猫角线虫C.犬瘟热和拟黑胸蛙在夏末或秋季出现明显的丰度高峰。(c)2005 Elsevier B.

Monthly flea collections were made from domestic dogs in Bulloch County, Georgia, USA from September 1996 to August 2004. A total of 2518 fleas belonging to 8 species were collected. The most common flea was the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (389 males and 1148 females), followed by the dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis (250 males and 285 females), a generalist/ carnivore flea, Pulex simulans (106 males and 213 females), and a sticktight flea, Echidnophaga gallinacea (3 males and 89 females). Small numbers of rabbit-associated fleas (25 Cediopsylla simplex and 6 Odontopsyllus multispinosus) and rodent-associated fleas (3 Orchopeas howardi and 1 Polygenis gwyni), suggested that certain dogs had acquired these particular ectoparasites through hunting activities. Sex ratios of each of the five most frequently collected flea species were female-biased. Seasonally, C. felis, C. canis, and R simulans, all showed distinct abundance peaks in late summer or autumn.
