Cat Scratch Fever and Fleas
|
|
|

Cat scratch fever is most commonly believed to be caused by a bacteria named Bartonella henselae. About 40% of cats carry B. henselae at some time in their lives. Most of these cats are not sick.
Fleas transmit bartonella from cat to cat.
It is believed that humans become infected when a cut or wound becomes contaminated with flea feces from an infected cat. Although this wound could be from a cat scratch or bite, it is possible that an unrelated cut might become infected by exposure to flea feces from an infected cat.
As a result, it is true that the incidence of cat-scratch fever can be reduced greatly by preventing fleas. Ask your veterinarian about methods to contol fleas on your cat. The fear of cat-scratch fever should not cause anyone to miss opportunities to enjoy the companionship of a faithful four-footed feline friend.
For more information see the CDC page on Cat-scratch fever.
