Among these, some species of the genera\n                    <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) and\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae) are emerging and re\u2010emerging throughout the world; however, their circulation across vast regions of Argentina and numerous animal species, particularly wild species remains largely unknown. The study of wild animal roadkill provides valuable insights into parasitic associations and the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, allowing the generation of a health alert in certain ecosystems. The aim of this study was to describe the diversity of fleas associated with roadkilled wild native meso\u2010mammals in the extreme northeast of Argentinian Patagonia, and to detect the presence of\n                    <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n                    bacteria.

The results contribute to knowledge of flea diversity in Argentinian Patagonia and provide new information about flea\u2010borne pathogens circulating in the wildlife of this region. Furthermore, this study is the first in Argentina to investigate ectoparasites and their associated bacteria in roadkilled animals, making a pioneering contribution to the field. The interesting findings highlight the importance of implementing and expanding road ecology studies, which could easily be replicated in other regions where information gaps on flea and flea\u2010borne bacteria diversity still exist.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/mve.70012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]],"date-time":"2025-09-08T14:16:58Z","timestamp":1757341018000},"page":"653-663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Fleas of wild mammals carrying pathogenic bacteria in Argentinian Patagonia: A study based on wildlife roadkill"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9506-2401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana Bel\u00e9n","family":"Acosta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Bioinvestigaciones\u2014CeBio Centro de Investigaciones y Transferencia del Noroeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires\u2014CIT NOBA (CONICET\u2010UNNOBA\u2010UNSAdA)  Pergamino Argentina"},{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas (CONICET)  Buenos Aires Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4205-8000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Winter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas (CONICET)  Buenos Aires Argentina"},{"name":"Centro de Investigaciones y Transferencia de Rio Negro (CONICET\u2010UNRN) Universidad Nacional de R\u00edo Negro\u2014Sede Atl\u00e1ntica  Viedma Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7317-2394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio Dami\u00e1n","family":"Abate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaciones y Transferencia de Rio Negro (CONICET\u2010UNRN) Universidad Nacional de R\u00edo Negro\u2014Sede Atl\u00e1ntica  Viedma Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4366-9073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliana Patricia","family":"Sanchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Bioinvestigaciones\u2014CeBio Centro de Investigaciones y Transferencia del Noroeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires\u2014CIT NOBA (CONICET\u2010UNNOBA\u2010UNSAdA)  Pergamino Argentina"},{"name":"Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas (CONICET)  Buenos Aires Argentina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaridenv.2008.09.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31687\/saremMN.24.31.01.05.e09912023"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1239401"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ram.2017.10.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ram.2018.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1099\/00207713-46-4-891"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2009.11.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ilar\/ilu015"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-4431.2009.00496.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40475-016-0070-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2020.e04385"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","unstructured":"Chebez J.C.
