Unique features of a global human ectoparasite identified through sequencing of the bed bug genome
Nature Communications, 2016 The bed bug, Cimex lectularius, is a ubiquitous human ectoparasite with global distribution. Here, the authors sequence the genome of the bed bug and identify reductions in chemosensory genes, expansion of genes associated with blood digestion and genes ...

Metabolic Resistance in Bed Bugs
Insects, 2011 Blood-feeding insects have evolved resistance to various insecticides (organochlorines, pyrethroids, carbamates, etc.) through gene mutations and increased metabolism. Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are hematophagous ectoparasites that are poised to become

A Reovirus from the Bedbug, Cimex lectularius
Journal of General Virology, 1987 Large numbers of virus particles were identified by electron microscopy in the epithelial cells of the ventriculus of the bedbug, Cimex lectularius. The morphology of the virus particles and the presence of a segmented double-stranded RNA genome imply that this isolate should be included in the Reoviridae.

Differences in Climbing Ability of Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2017 The climbing abilities of two bed bug species, Cimex lectularius L. and Cimex hemipterus (F.), were determined by evaluating their escape rates from smooth surface pitfall traps using four commercial bed bug monitors (Verifi Bed Bug Detector, ClimbUp Insect Interceptor, BlackOut Bed Bug Detector, and SenSci Volcano Bed Bug Detector). All detectors were

Insecticide resistance in bedbugs(Cimex lectularius) in Korea [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 1970 In the summer of 1969 from July through October, authors carried out a study of susceptibility in adult female bed bug(Cimex lectularius) in order to ascertain any development of resistance to insecticides in Korea. The test to DDT and Dieldrin was performed in laboratory by the continuous exposure of residues method, with standard impregnated paper ...

Reemergence of the bedbug Cimex lectularius in Seoul, Korea [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2008 A healthy 30-yr-old woman carrying an insect that had been caught in her living room visited the International Clinic at Severance Hospital, Seoul, in December 2007. The insect she brought was identified to be a nymph of a bedbug, Cimex lectularius, and her skin rashes looked typical bedbug's bites.
