FLEAS  (SIPHONAPTERA)

Analysis of Flea-Host Relations


PARHOST1 system permits conducting a consecutive analysis of parasite-host relations of any taxon of fleas and hosts beginning with analysis of the most general data on interaction of taxa of the highest rank. An opposite way of analysis beginning from analysis of relations of separate species is possible.

As result the system generates tables similarly to the one shown below. It shows relations of all flea families with lagomorphs.
