Bottom row: digestive tract dissected from a flea with complete proventricular blockage (14 days after infection), photographed using light (E) or light and fluorescence (F) microscopy.
21 Ιαν 2021 · The Yersinia pestis HmsCDE regulatory system is essential for blockage of the oriental rat flea (Xenopsylla cheopis), a classic plague vector. Environ Microbiol. 2015;17:947–59.
the rodents by the bite of an infected flea in which regurgitation of the blood due to obstruction (blocking) of the proventriculus introduces the plague bacilli into the body of the host. This blocking according to Bacot and Martin (1914) is caused by a rapid multiplication of the bacilli which eventually fill up the interspaces be-
Seaports and other rat-infested areas are also common habitats for X. cheopis. Fleas are nidiculous parasites; they live in the host's nest. Clothing, beds and couches make perfect homes for many of these fleas. Fleas only attach to the host while they are sucking blood; at other times they are free-living in the host's nest.
