The presence of Rickettsia felis was investigated in three species of pulicid fleas ( Ctenocephalides felis, Ctenocephalides canis and Pulex irritans ) collected in 38 locales in Andalusia (Spain) over the period 1999–2004. Amplification of a fragment of OmpB gene was positive in 54.17 % of lots of Ct. felis . The identity of the PCR bands was confirmed as R. felis by sequence data obtained directly from the PCR amplicon. No rickettsia was found in Ct. canis nor P. irritans .
