Host Specialisation in the Common Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius): Genetic Characterization of the Bat and Human Lineages

2023-11-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> After its nearly eradication in the 1940’s, the bed bug ( Cimex lectularius ) experienced a global resurgence with some populations displaying insecticide resistance. Two distinct lineages of bed bugs have been identified, one of which is associated with humans and the other with bats. Given that bat roosts can be shared within human shelters, investigating host specialisation in bed bugs is...
