A survey was conducted on rodents from the Riyadh City and surroundings. Two species of fleas, Xenopsylla cheopis and Ctenocephalides felis felis together with Polyplax spinulosa were collected. The highest infestation rate by both fleas occurred on Rattus rattus followed by Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus. Females of R. rattus and R. norvegicus were more infested by fleas than males. On the other hand, Meriones spp., Gerbillus spp., Jaculus jaculus and Acomys dimidiatus were infested with X. cheopis and C.f. felis. The highest infestation rate by fleas occurred on Gerbillus spp. followed by Meriones spp.
对利雅得市及其周边地区的啮齿动物进行了一项调查。收集到了两种跳蚤，即印鼠客蚤和猫栉首蚤指名亚种以及刺多板蚤。两种跳蚤的最高感染率出现在黑家鼠身上，其次是褐家鼠和小家鼠。黑家鼠和褐家鼠的雌性比雄性更容易感染跳蚤。另一方面，长爪沙鼠属、沙鼠属、埃及沙鼠和荒漠刺毛鼠感染了印鼠客蚤和猫栉首蚤指名亚种。跳蚤的最高感染率出现在沙鼠属身上，其次是长爪沙鼠属。
