🪲Cat flea
Ctenocephalides felis, dite puce du chat est une espèce d'insectes piqueurs holométaboles siphonaptères de la famille des Pulicidae. Cette puce est connue comme l'ectoparasite le plus fréquent du chat et du chien en zones tempérées et subtropicales. On peut aussi la rencontrer sur au moins 50 espèces de mammifères à travers le monde. Elle peut parfois pulluler sur des animaux de ferme (veaux par exemple). Une autre puce, Ctenocephalides canis (Curtis) semble spécifique du chien mais elle est peu fréquente en France.
