The seasonal abundance and the flea ectoparasites of Gerbillus pyramidum were studied. The results showed that the jerboa was more common in Summer (jerboa index 0.43) and least common in Winter (jerboa index 0.35). The overall male to female ratio was 4.2:1. The flea ectoparasites were more common in Autumn (flea index 10.5) and least common in Summer (flea index 6.8). The overall flea index was 8.75 and the majority of fleas (90.9%) was collected on male jerboa. The collected fleas in a descending order of abundance and flea index were: Xenopsylla cheopis (3.1), X. ramesis (2.7), Stenoponia tripectinata (1.4), Nosopsylla sinaiensis (0.9), Hopkinsipsylla occulta (0.6), and Pulex irritans. (0.01).
对埃及沙鼠的季节性数量和跳蚤体外寄生虫进行了研究。结果表明,跳鼠在夏季更为常见(跳鼠指数为0.43),而在冬季最不常见(跳鼠指数为0.35)。雌雄总体比例为4.2:1。跳蚤体外寄生虫在秋季更为常见(跳蚤指数为10.5),而在夏季最不常见(跳蚤指数为6.8)。总体跳蚤指数为8.75,大多数跳蚤(90.9%)是在雄性跳鼠身上采集到的。按数量和跳蚤指数从高到低排列所采集到的跳蚤依次为:印鼠客蚤(3.1)、拉氏客蚤(2.7)、三栉盲蚤(1.4)、西奈新蚤(0.9)、隐匿霍氏蚤(0.6)和致痒蚤(0.01)。
