Use of a mathematical model to study the dynamics of Ctenocephalides felis populations in the home environment and the impact of various control measures

The biology of fleas has been studied by a number of authors, as has the impact of various types of control measures. However, there are no mathematical models simulating the dynamics of a population of Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas on their host (the cat) and in their close environment (apartme...
