What's Eating You? Bedbugs Revisited (Cimex Lectularius)
Close enCounters With the environment What’s Eating You? Bedbugs Revisited (Cimex lectularius) Devika Patel, MD; Dirk M. Elston, MD he common bedbug, Cimex lectularius, is a member of the family Cimicidae and the genus TCimex. Belonging to the order Hemiptera, its relatives include reduviid bugs as well as common garden pests such as stink bugs, aphids, and cicadas.1 Bedbugs are distributed in temperate and tropical regions worldwide.2 In the last 10 years, the number of US households affected by these insects has mark- edly increased3 and bedbugs have become a serious urban pest worldwide.4 This resurgence of bedbug infestations has renewed interest in the biology and toxicology of these insects.5 CUTIS Overview Bedbug anatomy. Adult bedbugs are wingless, roughly oval in shape, flattened, and approximately 5- to 6-mm long. The adults are a deep red-brown color.2 They possess widely spaced compound eyes—one on each side of a pyramid-shapedDo head—and Notslender antennae. A humans.

Magnitude and Spread of Bed Bugs (Cimex Lectularius) Throughout Ohio (USA) Revealed by Surveys of Pest Management Industry
insects Article Magnitude and Spread of Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius) throughout Ohio (USA) Revealed by Surveys of Pest Management Industry Susan C. Jones Department of Entomology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1065, USA; [email protected] Simple Summary: Bed bugs are small blood-sucking insects that live indoors and feed on humans. They have become a problem in countries worldwide. In this study, the problem in Ohio (Midwest U.S.) was measured based on treatments by licensed pest control companies throughout the state. Results from 2005 showed that Ohio’s bed bug problem likely started in Hamilton County, which includes Cincinnati. Much larger numbers of bed bug treatments were performed in 2011 and again in 2016, especially in counties with large cities. Almost every Ohio county had numerous bed bug treatments in 2016. Most treatments were in apartments/condos and single-family homes. Residents misused many pesticides, especially over-the-counter “bug bombs” and household cleaners, trying to eliminate bed bugs. Many people also threw away unwrapped infested furniture, which may further spread these bugs. More public education is needed to stop such practices. This study shows that bed bug problems can grow and spread quickly. Federal, state, and local officials and the public should immediately deal with bed bugs rather than waiting until they become an even bigger problem. Abstract: Bed bugs have recently re-emerged as human pests worldwide. In this study, two sur- Citation: Jones, S.C.

Populations of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, have recently undergone explosive growth. Bed bugs share many important traits with triatomine insects, but it remains unclear whether these similarities include the ability to transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Here, we show efficient and bidirectional transmission of T. cruzi between hosts and bed bugs in a laboratory environment. -

Pearson 31st December 2016 iv ABSTRACT Every year billions of insects undertake long‐distance seasonal migrations, moving hundreds of tonnes of biomass across the globe and providing key ecological services. Yet we know very little about the complex migratory movements of these tiny animal migrants and less still about what causes their populations to fluctuate in space and time. Understanding the reason for these population level changes is important, especially for insect species that are agricultural pests and disease vectors. -

Most human bed bug infes- tations are caused by the “common bed bug,” Cimex lectularius, or the “tropical bed bug,” C. hemipterus. Zoonotic cimicids also occasionally feed on humans. Bites are the most commonly reported manifesta- tion of infestations, although findings may be subtle and overlooked for some time. The bugs can be submitted to the laboratory for identification, and therefore, clinical microbiologists should be familiar with their key identifying features and how they can be differentiated from similar-appearing arthro- pods. This review covers the biology and epidemiology of bed bugs; aspects of laboratory collection, identification, and reporting; and the clinical implications of bed bug infestations.
