- Title
New Flea (Siphonaptera) Record For Heermann's Kangaroo Rat ( Dipodomys heermanni), San Luis Obispo County, California.
- Authors
Clark, Howard O.; Pigage, Helen K.
- Abstract
Three Heermann's kangaroo rats ( Dipodomys heermanni LeConte 1853) from San Luis Obispo County, California, were examined for ectoparasites. Two species of fleas were found, Meringis cummingi (C. Fox 1926) and Hoplopsyllus anomalus (Baker 1904). While M. cummingi has been reported frequently from this host (Dorman 1969, Eads et al. 1987), occurrence of H. anomalus on D. heermanni has not been reported before and represents a new host record.
