Fleas were identified after being collected from 129 dogs and 38 cats of random breed, sex and age. All these animals, infested with fleas and admitted to the Clinic of Medicine of the Veterinary Faculty in Thessaloniki for routine procedures, were from different habitats and originated from various parts of northern Greece. Ctenocephalides canis was the most common species found on the dogs (71.3%). Conversely, its prevalence in the 14 cats was substantially lower (5.3%). Ctenocephalides felis was found on 97.4% of the cats and 40.3% of the dogs surveyed. Of the other flea species, with much lower prevalence, Pulex irritans (0.8%) and Xenopsylla cheopis (0.8%) were observed only on the dogs. Seventeen dogs (13.2%) and one cat (2.6%) had mixed infestations. Flea-associated dermatoses were observed in 26 dogs (20.2%) and four cats (10.5%). Flea-allergic dermatitis, with its typical manifestations, was seen in ten of the dogs (38.5%) with skin lesions. Three out of four flea-allergic cats presented miliary dermatitis and one symmetrical hypotrichosis.
从129只随机选取的不同品种、性别和年龄的犬以及38只猫身上采集到跳蚤后，对其进行了鉴定。所有这些感染跳蚤并因常规诊疗程序入住塞萨洛尼基兽医学院临床的动物，来自不同栖息地，原产于希腊北部各地。犬栉首蚤是在犬身上发现的最常见物种（71.3%）。相反，其在14只猫中的感染率则低得多（5.3%）。猫栉首蚤在97.4%的受调查猫和40.3%的受调查犬身上被发现。在其他感染率低得多的跳蚤物种中，人蚤（0.8%）和印鼠客蚤（0.8%）仅在犬身上被观察到。17只犬（13.2%）和1只猫（2.6%）有混合感染。在26只犬（20.2%）和4只猫（10.5%）身上观察到与跳蚤相关的皮肤病。在出现皮肤病变的10只犬（38.5%）中发现了具有典型表现的跳蚤过敏性皮炎。4只跳蚤过敏性猫中有3只出现粟粒性皮炎，1只出现对称性脱毛症。
