Xenopsylla cheopis (Rothschild, 1903) View in CoL
Material examined— Nuevo Leon: Montemorelos, Mus musculus Linnaeus, V.1999 , Mendivil, C. familiaris, S. Lozano , 1 female; Salinas Victoria, Rcho. El Vergel, R. rattus , 19.VI.2000, R. Zárate, 1 male, 3 females.
Remarks—This species is of considerable medical significance as a vector of plague and murine typhus ( Salceda 2004), but has been recorded in only 10 states. Strategic collections from Rattus sp. throughout Mexico are needed to establish its presence and potential as a vector in the locations in which it occurs.
