Fleas are considered as hosts for a wide range of pathogens that cause emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases worldwide. Data on fleas and flea-borne pathogens (FBPs) in the international literature are limited in Vietnam. This study aimed to investigate the species of fleas and the presence of pathogens of interest in fleas in northern Vietnam using PCR and sequence analysis. Out of 200 dogs enrolled in this study, 20% were infested by the flea species Ctenocephalides felis felis. In total, 62 fleas (35 females and 27 males) collected from domestic dogs were molecularly screened for the detection of pathogens. Out of the screened fleas, 39 were positive for Rickettsia felis (62.9%), 9 for Candidatus Mycoplasma hemobos (14.52%), and 6 for Mycoplasma wenyonii (9.68%). This study shows the first molecular detection of the above-mentioned pathogens in fleas collected from the studied areas and the potential risk of infection with examined FBPs in northern Vietnam.

Abstract BackgroundRickettsia felis causes febrile illness in humans. There is no information on the organism in Anhui Province of China.MethodsQuesting ticks were collected from Anhui Province of China and tick DNA was used as template for nested PCR (or real-time PCR) to amplify Rickettsia felis with 16S rRNA gene (rrs), 17kDa protein gene and orfB gene.ResultsPCR results indicated that 0.22% (2/907) ticks were positive to R. felis. Sequence analysis of the partial rrs and 17 kDa protein genes showed R. felis in ticks was highly homologous with R.felis URRWXCal2 with similarity of 98.91% and 99%, respectively.ConclusionsOur study demonstrated the first evidence of R. felis in H. longicornis ticks from Anhui Province of China, suggesting that a potential transmission of R. felis to humans through tick bite in China.
