摘要: We investigated host and flea species composition across different habitats during dry rainy seasons in the Western Usambara Mountains Tanzania. During both seasons, similarity increased with an increase composition. Nevertheless, between-season within-habitat as well within-season between-habitat was higher than Ordination of according to their demonstrated that pattern varied seasonally. Despite relatively rich mammal fauna study region, major contribution variation between among due a few only. Flea assemblages on Lophuromys kilonzoi Verheyen et al., 2007 Praomys delectorum Thomas, 1910 were equally similar either season. In contrast, Mastomys natalensis (Smith, 1834) occurring more season, whereas opposite case for fleas Grammomys sp. hosts, main differences species. Although our results support earlier idea parasite is determined by habitat properties, former appears explain variance localities tropics better temperate arid zones.
