Host association drives genetic divergence in the bed bug, Cimex lectularius.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2015

Booth Warren, Balvín Ondřej, Vargo Edward L, Vilímová Jitka, Schal Coby

Abstract excerpt

Genetic differentiation may exist among sympatric populations of a species due to long-term associations with alternative hosts (i.e. host-associated differentiation). While host-associated differentiation has been documented in several phytophagus insects, there are far fewer cases known in animal parasites. The bed bug, Cimex lectularius, a wingless insect, represents a potential model organism for elucidating...
