Analysis of the literature data has shown that the present day flea fauna of mammals in Vietnam is represented by 50 flea species. In 2019–2020, we surveyed seven northern provinces of Vietnam, including Điện Biên, Lai Châu, Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Quang Ninh, adjacent to the People's Republic of China. During the study period, 569 specimens of small mammals, belonging to 28 species, were captured. 375 specimens of fleas, belonging to 11 species, were collected; among those, one species (Peromyscopsylla himalaica (Rothschild, 1915)) was discovered in Vietnam for the first time.
