FLEAS  (SIPHONAPTERA)

Advantages of the ZOOCOD Classifiers



Tables of ZOOCOD2 standard most completely reflect the diversity of possible hierarchical levels of classification. Our AIS contains a number of such tables, each of which regulates and structures the diversity of taxa of parasites (fleas), hosts (mammals or birds), physical geography objects and administrative territories.

DB classifiers permit:

Usage of both basic and intermediate
taxonomic categories

Generalizations of data on subordinate
taxa for higher taxa

Operating both synonymic and
valid taxonomic names

Unrestricted inclusion of information
in the hierarchical classifications schemes
