Cediopsylla
Cediopsylla is a genus of fleas in the family Pulicidae, subfamily Spilopsyllinae. The genus includes species that are 'hormone bound' parasites, with reproductive cycles synchronized to host breeding biology. Cediopsylla simplex, the only well-documented species, parasitizes rabbits and exhibits maturation and breeding patterns controlled by host reproductive hormones. Female fleas mature on pregnant hosts and nestlings, but not on non-pregnant hosts.
