Abstract
Infestation of exotic and indigenous breeds of cattle, sheep and goats with Ctenocephalides felis strongylus in a dairy farm is reported. Many of the fleas were engorged with fresh blood. Traps set up in the pens caught two bush rats which were heavily infested with the same flea species, most of which were also engorged with fresh blood. It was suggested that the fleas might have been introduced into the pens by rodents such as bush rats.Keywords
