Biofilm formation is not required for early-phase transmission of Yersinia pestisSara M Vetter

Microbiology 156:2216-25. 2010..pestis in our EPT model, although biofilm overproduction inhibited efficient EPT. Our results also indicate, however, that biofilms may play a role in infection persistence in the flea...- Effects of temperature on the transmission of Yersinia Pestis by the flea, Xenopsylla Cheopis, in the late phase periodAnna M Schotthoefer

Parasit Vectors 4:191. 2011..i.), and every 3-4 days thereafter until day 14 p.i. for fleas held at 10°C, or 28 days p.i. for fleas held at 23-30°C. Transmission was confirmed using Y. pestis-specific antigen or antibody detection assays on mouse tissues... 
Demonstration of early-phase transmission of Yersinia pestis by the mouse flea, Aetheca wagneri (Siphonaptera: Ceratophylidae), and implications for the role of deer mice as enzootic reservoirsRebecca J Eisen

J Med Entomol 45:1160-4. 2008..Because deer mice typically harbor fewer than three A. wagneri per host, our data do not support the notion of an independent deer mouse--A. wagneri transmission cycle...- Effects of temperature on early-phase transmission of Yersina pestis by the flea, Xenopsylla cheopisAnna M Schotthoefer

J Med Entomol 48:411-7. 2011..By contrast, transmission may be delayed or inhibited at low temperatures, indicating that epizootic spread of Y. pestis by X. cheopis via early-phase transmission is unlikely during colder periods of the year... - Source of host blood affects prevalence of infection and bacterial loads of Yersinia pestis in fleasRebecca J Eisen

Implications of the results for rate of spread of Y. pestis in naturally infected host populations are discussed... - Early-phase transmission of Yersinia pestis by cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) and their potential role as vectors in a plague-endemic region of UgandaRebecca J Eisen

Am J Trop Med Hyg 78:949-56. 2008..Plague control programs in this region should remain focused on reducing rat flea populations, although our findings imply that cat fleas should not be ignored by these programs as they could play a significant role as secondary vectors... - Yersinia pestis infection and laboratory conditions alter flea-associated bacterial communitiesRyan T Jones
