Abstract
Flea infestation is the most common ectoparasitic condition of dogs and cats with worldwide distribution. From an ongoing country-wide study on the spectrum, the epidemiology and the population dynamics of flea infestations in dogs and cats, important preliminary results from the areas of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Pozarevac, Kraljevo and Sabac are presented. Three flea species were found parasitizing dogs and cats. Ctenocephalides felis felis was the most abundant (79.21 % of fleas identified), followed by Ctenocephalides canis (19.29.%) and Pulex irritans (1.50 %).
