FLEAS  (SIPHONAPTERA)

Generation of Lists of Flea and Host Taxa



The PARHOST1 system permits obtaining a list of different host taxa for different flea species and vice versa a list of different flea taxa for different host taxa. Such lists comprise information on different types of parasite-host relations and on the literature source. Given below is a fragment of such a list of fleas for representatives of the Leporidae family. Below the fragment statistics for the entire list is given.
