Abstract
O. bruneri and T. bacchi may be regarded as capable vectors of plague. The results obtained by feeding these fleas on plague-infected guinea pigs gave results comparable with the rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis, and the California ground squirrel flea, Diamanus montanus, which are generally regarded as highly efficient vectors.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
