  • Title: [Role of endoparasites of fleas of wild rodents in plague enzootia].
    Author: Chumakova IV, Tokhov IuM.
    Journal: Med Parazitol (Mosk); 2013; (1):18-20. PubMed ID: 23805483.
    Abstract:
    Laboratory studies of fleas for gregarines have established that it is the latter inhabiting the intestine and stomach of the fleas of wild rodents which are of much interest as protozoa, in whose organism, parasitic species of bacteria can survive. Penetration of plague bacteria into the endoplasm ofgregarines and their possible survival in the cysts may create an additional component in the chain of an epizootic process, which ensures its function, without involving the rodents at the nesting biocenotic level following the pattern: flea imagoes - nesting litter infected with gregarine spores, cysts - flea larvae - flea imagoes infected with cysts, with the plague pathogen emerging into a rodent population through the imago of blocked fleas.
