Abstract

ABSTRACT Thirty-five species of fleas are documented from the state of West Virginia including new state records for the ischnopsyllid, Nycteridopsylla chapini Jordan, 1929, and the ctenophthalmid, Corrodopsylla curvata (Rothschild, 1915). Host and distribution records are presented by county, with many new records, including 88 new county records amassed since 1980. The most widely distributed fleas were Orchopeas leucopus (Baker, 1904) and Peromyscopsylla hesperomys hesperomys (Baker, 1904), both from mice of the genus Peromyscus. Ctenophthalmus pseudagyrtes (Baker, 1904) was abundant on shrews, voles, and mice. The squirrel flea, Orchopeas howardi (Baker, 1895), found in 12 counties from west to east in the state is probably present throughout the state. This species has been implicated in the maintenance and spread of sporadic epidemic typhus. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché, 1835), a parasite primarily of domestic cats and dogs, was not well represented in our collections, but is widespread geographically and probably occurs throughout the state. This is the most economically important species in West Virginia as a household pest and carrier of several zoonotic human pathogens.

西弗吉尼亚州的跳蚤(管翅目)

摘要:在西弗吉尼亚州记录了35种跳蚤，包括新记录的ischnopsyllid, Nycteridopsylla chapini Jordan(1929年)和ctenophthalmid, rodopsylla curvata (Rothschild, 1915年)。接待和分发记录以县为单位呈现，新增记录较多，其中1980年以来累计新增县记录88项。分布最广的蚤是Orchopeas leucopus (Baker, 1904)和Peromyscopsylla hesperomys hesperomys (Baker, 1904)，均来自Peromyscus属小鼠。假眼锥虫(Ctenophthalmus pseudoagyrtes, Baker, 1904)在鼩鼱、田鼠和老鼠身上大量存在。松鼠蚤，Orchopeas howardi (Baker, 1895)，在该州从西到东的12个县发现，可能在整个州都有。该物种与散发的流行性斑疹伤寒的维持和传播有关。猫蚤，Ctenocephalides felis (bouch， 1835)，一种主要寄生于家猫和狗的寄生虫，在我们的收集中没有很好的代表性，但在地理上很广泛，可能在整个州都有。这是西弗吉尼亚州最重要的经济物种，作为一种家庭害虫和几种人畜共患人类病原体的载体。

期刊介绍： Annals of Carnegie Museum is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed short and medium-length original scientific contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Subject matter must be relevant to Carnegie Museum of Natural History scientific sections or Powdermill Nature Reserve (PNR), preferably with connection to the Carnegie collection and/or personnel.
