1995
Patrick, M.J. | Harrison, R.L.
From April 1992 to April 1993, fleas were collected from 15 gray foxes, Urocyon cinereoargenteus Schreber, in New Mexico. Flea species collected were Cediopsylla inaequalis inaequalis Baker (14/15), Echidnophaga gallinacea (Westwood) (1/15), Euhoplopsyllus glacialis affinis Baker (10/15), Foxella ignota Baker (1/15), Pulex irritans (L.) (6/15), and Pulex simulans Baker (15/15). C. i. inaequalis and F. ignota are new host records for gray foxes. The collection of C. i. inaequalis, E. g. affinis, F. ignota, and P. simulans are new host records for New Mexico. Fleas on gray foxes in the Southwest are reviewed.
