This study evaluated the risk factors for flea parasitism in dogs and cats from urban (Ur) and rural (Ru) households in Puerto Iguaz\u00fa, Argentina, through seasonal sampling between March 2017 and February 2018. Prevalence (P), mean intensity, and mean abundance of the host\u2010associated variable were calculated. To identify associations between the presence\/pseudoabsence of fleas and the explanatory variables, a generalized linear mixed model was constructed. A total of 1932 fleas, identified as\n                    <jats:italic>Ctenocephalides felis felis<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Bouch\u00e9) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), were collected from 402 dogs (P\n                    <jats:sub>Ur<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200979.8%; P\n                    <jats:sub>Ru<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200988.4%) and 87 cats (P\n                    <jats:sub>Ur<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200977.6%; P\n                    <jats:sub>Ru<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200966.7%).

In cats, infestation was associated with young age, the presence of infested dogs in the same household, and higher vegetation coverage. In both hosts,\n                    <jats:italic>T. penetrans<\/jats:italic>\n                    infestation was positively associated with no antiparasitic treatment, lower humidity in w\u20103, and higher humidity in w\u20101 and higher temperature in w\u20102.
