RT Journal T1 SLandering the flea JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2011 FD April 27 VO 305 IS 16 SP 1715 OP 1715 DO 10.1001/jama.2011.455 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2011.455 AB The German Wochenschrift states in its abstract of Nicolle's work, April 6, page 657, that Flöhe, “fleas,” are involved in the transmission of the disease. What can there be in Nicolle's article that hypnotizes reviewers into mistaking lice for fleas? It is to be hoped that the Flea family will not take revenge on the reviewers for this baseless calumny! . . .
