Echidnophaga is a genus of fleas. It includes species which are found in Africa, parts of Asia, southern Europe, and Australia.[1] Fleas in this genus remain attached to their host in a single location for long periods of time, causing swelling and ulceration of tissue.[2] To remain attach for long periods they use specialized mouthparts,[3] which, compared to other fleas, are relatively much longer.[4]
