Abstract

ABSTRACT:The aim of this article is to provide a brief overview of rabbit fleas (Spillopsyllus cuniculi), their life cycle and the treatments and control measures that can be utilised to treat and prevent infestation in rabbits. S. cuniculi can also be a major vector for the transfer of myxomatosis, so it is important for veterinary nurses to educate owners about the risk fleas pose to rabbits and also to encourage vaccination against myxomatosis.
