[Fleas and diseases transmissible to man].

Abstract

Les puces sont des insectes sans ailes, ectoparasites de mammifères, plus rarement d'oiseaux, et dont certaines espèces peuvent piquer l'homme. Les puces adultes ont la faculté de sauter et sont hématophages. L'importance des puces en santé publique humaine est surtout liée à leur capacité de transmission d'agents de maladies infectieuses au cours du repas sanguin. Dans cette revue, nous présentons les puces et les maladies humaines auxquelles elles sont liées, en nous concentrant sur les aspects épidémiologiques.

Fleas are wingless insects that parasitize mammals and more rarely birds. They are able to jump and may bite people. Adult fleas are hematophagous. The impact of fleas on public health is related to their ability to act as vectors for transmission of infectious agents during blood meals. The purpose of this article is to describe fleas and the diseases that they transmit to humans. Special focus is placed on epidemiological aspects.
