  • Title: Overview of flea allergy dermatitis.
    Author: Lam A, Yu A.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Vet; 2009 May; 31(5):E1-10. PubMed ID: 19517416.
    Abstract:
    Flea allergy dermatitis, or flea-bite hypersensitivity, is the most common small animal dermatologic condition. In some regions of the world, it is the most commonly seen canine disease. This disease does not exist in locations that are inhospitable to fleas, such as those at elevations above 1500 ft or with low humidity (e.g., the desert).Although there are more than 2000 documented species and subspecies of fleas, the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis) is the species most frequently found infesting dogs, cats, and all caged pets in North America.
