Cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) often leave cats and dogs to bite humans, causing pruritic lesions of the lower extremities. Once flea bites are confirmed, various efforts can be made to eradicate these pests from the home or pets. Cat fleas also play a role in transmission of vector-borne diseases, especially endemic typhus.
