Thanks to all respondents thus far!

Is it likely that I will now suffer an infestation in my house and
further
bites, or is it likely that the loss of appropriate host (ie dog)
means that
this will be an isolated case?

It may be likely that you brought a flea or two home from the Snooker
club in your clothes, but then thay would ahve to find each other and
breed and then find you etc. Just be vigilant with the housework as
fleas breed in dirt and dust (the invisble stuff in the carpet) in a
warn environment. If you see any signs buy some flea bombs at a
supermarket/pet shop and set them off just as you leave the house for
a few hours.
