Journal Article
Presence of Stenoponia tripectinata (Tiraboschi, 1902) (Siphonaptera, Ctenophtalmidae) in murine (Rodentia) from the Canary Islands
2012
Overview
This article reports the geographical and host distribution of the flea
Stenoponia tripectinata
on the Canary Islands.
S. tripectinata
is widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean and North Africa as a parasite of Muridae rodents. To date, Gran Canaria is the only island of the archipelago where
S. tripectinata
had been found. In this report,
S. tripectinata
has appeared parasitizing 116 specimens of
Mus musculus
out of a total of 660, and only 2
Rattus rattus
of 215 captured. All the trapped Muridae hosts found to be parasitized by
S. tripectinata
came from humid biotopes. The results showed that
S. tripectinata
is present on all the western Canary Islands and on one of the eastern islands, Gran Canaria, the only island already reported. The detection of
S. tripectinata
on El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife represents the first records of this flea species on those Canary Islands.
