5 Μαΐ 2022 · Immature fleas live in rat nests and are sensitive to variation in temperature and relative humidity. TRANSMISSION FACTS: X. cheopis can be infected with Y. pestis, Bartonella sp., Trypanosoma sp., and Rickettsia typhi by feeding on septicemic hosts and transmitting these pathogens during subsequent feedings.

27 Μαρ 2019 · Blocked fleas are smaller than healthy fleas and, after an attempt to feed, display fresh red blood in the proventriculus and/or the esophagus (black arrow) but not in the midgut. Blockage results from the formation of biofilm by Y. pestis within the flea's proventriculus.
Transmission by fleabite is a relatively recent evolutionary adaptation of Yersinia pestis, the bacterial agent of bubonic plague. To produce a transmissible infection, Y. pestis grows as an attached biofilm in the foregut of the flea vector. ...
Most research on Yersinia–flea interactions has been with the rat flea Xenopsylla cheopis. Proventricular blockage and transmission rates are higher in this species than in others, but the physiological basis for these differences is unknown.
MICRO-ANATOMY OF THE PROVENTRICULUS OF THE COMMON RAT FLEA XENOPSYLLA CHEOPIS (ROTHSCHILD) D. M. MUNSHI Department of Zoology, St. Xavier's College, Bombay, India That the flea is the vector responsible for the spread of plague was suggested by early workers such as Ogata (1897), Simond (1898), Verjbitski (1908), Gauthier
