Abstract

Diamanus montanus and Hoplopsyllus anomalus were reared in plastic jars on a substrate of ground corncobs, using suckling mice as the blood meal source and a mixture of guinea pig diet and blood meal as the larval food. D. montanus was reared at 27°C and 80% RH; H. anomalus was reared at 19°C and 25% RH. Under these conditions, cultures of D. montanus produced a monthly surplus of approximately 150 fleas per jar.
