Abstract
The paper reviews scientific sources published in 1996–2025 on the role of feline ectoparasites, primarily the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis, in the spread of zoonotic pathogens of the genera Bartonella and Rickettsia. Studies from Iran, Turkey and Italy reported flea infestation in 60.8 % of cats, Bartonella DNA in the blood (PCR) of 12.6 %, antibodies to B. henselae in 27.9 %, and R. felis in 17.6 % of fleas. Considering the close contact of free-roaming cats with people and the indoor microclimate favourable for fleas in Karakalpakstan, the need for ectoparasitological and molecular surveillance in the region is justified and a methodological scheme is proposed.
