Resumo: The number of guinea pigs is increasing as pet and their domestication necessitates the study of their pathology and emerging diseases. This study aimed to evaluate guinea pigs’ capacity to be infested by Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas, as it is a common parasite among pets that causes irritation, stress, and transmission of other pathogens. Seventeen guinea pigs were infested with C. felis felis. After 48 hours, the animals were combed, and the number of fleas was determined. Guinea pigs had a very low recovery (average of 5%), leading us to conclude that they are not good hosts for this species, despite some literature citing it as an accidental host if infested along with dogs or cats.

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a capacidade de infestação dos porquinhos-da-índia pela pulga Ctenocephalides felis felis, ectoparasita comum entre os animais domésticos que causa irritação, estresse e transmissão de outros patógenos. Dezessete animais foram infestados com C. felis felis. Após 48 horas, os animais foram penteados e o número de pulgas determinado. Os porquinhos-da-índia tiveram uma recuperação muito baixa (média de 5%), levando-nos a concluir que estes não são bons hospedeiros para essa espécie de pulga, apesar de algumas literaturas os citarem como hospedeiro acidental se conviverem juntamente com cães ou gatos infestados.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2023-12-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/130810.29374/2527-2179.bjvm003123Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 45 (2023); e003123Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 45 (2023); e0031232527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1308/1358https://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1308/1362Copyright (c) 2023 Thalita Xavier de Araujo da Silva, Gabriela Pereira Salça de Almeida, Debora Azevedo Borges, Victor Elias Caceres Rios, Thaís Ribeiro Correiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessda Silva, Thalita Xavier de Araujode Almeida, Gabriela Pereira SalçaBorges, Debora AzevedoRios, Victor Elias CaceresCorreia, Thaís Ribeiro2023-12-15T23:48:05Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1308Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2023-12-15T23:48:05Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
