Origin, evolution, phylogeny and taxonomy of Pulex irritans

The human fleaPulex irritansLinnaeus, 1758 (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) isone of the most studied species together with the cat fleaCtenocephalides felisBouché,1835, because they have a cosmopolitan distribution and are closely related to humans.The present study aimed to carry out a comparative morpho...
