title: [Parasitic fleas in dogs from two Warsaw shelters, urban and suburban].
abstract: Dog's ectoparasites were collected from 3 different parts of the body (back of the ears, environs of the loins, and beginning of the tail) during seven months (1993/1994). Material originated from two dog's shelters: Paluch in Warsaw and Celestynów near Warsaw. All 50 inspected dogs had the fleas Ctenocephalides canis (CURTIS, 1826). 63% of fleas occupy back of the body, 31% the tail and 6% the ears. Number of the females was higher than males. The highest number of fleas was stated in November 1993 and April 1994.
