Dog nightmare

So, what is the Dog’s scariest nightmare, which also effects us humans more then us it effects dogs.
The living things which effects both of the living beings are Ticks & Fleas, ticks can dig inside humans & dogs skin, then into the blood cells & start feeding , while Fleas go inside humans & dogs grow into earthworms start mating which makes more worms then they go for the brain 🧠🔫 then the host dies while Fleas outside party 🍺 wow👏👏 they keep doing the same things again & again just like cycle.
How to Eradicate fleas
Generally speaking, an adult flea only lives for 2 or 3 months. Without a host to provide a blood meal, a flea’s life can be as short as a few days. Under ideal conditions of
temperature, food supply, and humidity, adult fleas can live for up to a year and a half.

Flea allergy dermatitis

Flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) is an eczematous itchy skin disease of dogs and cats. For both of these domestic species, flea allergy dermatitis is the most common cause of skin disease.
Genetic evidence indicates that fleas are a specialised lineage of parasitic scorpionflies sensu lato, most closely related to Nannochoristidae. The earliest known fleas are known from the Middle Jurassic, though modern looking forms do not appear until the Cenozoic. Fleas likely originated on mammals before later parasitising birds. Each species of flea is more or less a specialist with respect to its host animal species: many species never breed on any other host, though some are less selective. Some families of fleas are exclusive to a single host group; for example, the Malacopsyllidae are found only on armadillos, the Ischnopsyllidae only on bats, and the Chimaeropsyllidae only on elephant shrews.

The oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis, is a vector of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium which causes bubonic plague. The disease was spread to humans by rodents such as the black rat, which were bitten by infected fleas. Major outbreaks included the Plague of Justinian, c. 540 and the Black Death, c. 1350, both of which killed a sizeable fraction of the world’s population.

Fleas feed on a wide variety of warm-blooded vertebrates including humans, dogs, cats, rabbits, squirrels, ferrets, rats, mice and birds. Fleas normally specialise in one host species or group of species, but can often feed but not reproduce on other species. Ceratophyllus gallinae affects poultry as well as wild birds.[27] As well as the degree of relatedness of a potential host to the flea’s original host, it has been shown that avian fleas that exploit a range of hosts, only parasitise species with low immune responses. In general, host specificity decreases as the size of the host species decreases. Another factor is the opportunities available to the flea to change host species; this is smaller in colonially nesting birds, where the flea may never encounter another species, than it is in solitary nesting birds. A large, long-lived host provides a stable environment that favours host-specific parasites.
