Successful management of the bed bug, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), is difficult because of its pesticide resistance, which can allow a reduction in population, but not elimination. We evaluated the effect of heat and/or air circulation on the efficacy of dichlorvos resin strips in the control of bed bugs. Treatments were performed in unoccupied dormitory rooms and consisted of dichlorvos resin strips containing 18.6% active ingredient, the same strips + fan, and strips + fan + heat. The mortality of recently fed bed bugs and weight loss of the dichlorvos strips were evaluated over 7 days. Dichlorvos resin strips killed bed bugs and eggs in just over 7 days. The addition of a fan or a fan + heat decreased time to 100% mortality to 3 days and 36 h, respectively. Eggs located in treated rooms did not hatch. Resin strips in the strips + fan treatment and the strips + fan + heat treatment volatilized 10 and 70 times, respectively, faster than strips in the strips-only treatment. The addition of heat in treatments with dichlorvos resin strips enhances the overall efficacy of the volatile insecticide and reduces the time required to eliminate live bed bugs and eggs. 相似文献

Effects of host availability and feeding period on bed bugs, Cimex lectularius (L.) (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), were measured. Population growth and the potential harmful effect of bed bug populations on human hosts were modelled. Bloodmeal sizes were affected by both feeding length and frequency, with >2‐fold difference between insects fed daily or weekly. Blood consumption increased >2‐fold between bed bugs fed occasionally and often, and 1.5‐fold between occasional and daily feeding. Bed bugs fed more often than once a week, potentially every 2–4 days. Egg production was associated with nutrition, being strongly correlated with blood consumption in the previous week. Bed bug populations can grow under different feeding regimes and are hard to control with <80% mortality. Bed bugs can survive and grow even in locations with a limited blood supply, where bed bug persistence may be important for the continual spread of populations. Persistence in non‐traditional locations and a potential association with human pathogens increase the health risks of bed bugs. Potential blood loss as a result of a bed bug can have serious consequences because uncontrolled populations can reach harmful levels in 3–8 months. The reproduction potential of bed bug populations suggests serious consequences to human health and the need for efficacious control measures. 相似文献

In the last few years, the bed bug Cimex lectularius has been an increasing problem worldwide, mainly due to the development of insecticide resistance to pyrethroids. The characterization of resistance alleles is a prerequisite to improve surveillance and resistance management. To identify genomic variants associated with pyrethroid resistance in Cimex lectularius, we compared the genetic composition of two recent and resistant populations with that of two ancient-susceptible strains using a genome-wide pool-seq design. We identified a large 6 Mb “superlocus” showing particularly high genetic differentiation and association with the resistance phenotype. This superlocus contained several clustered resistance genes and was also characterized by a high density of structural variants (inversions, duplications). The possibility that this superlocus constitutes a resistance “supergene” that evolved after the clustering of alleles adapted to insecticide and after reduction in recombination is discussed. 相似文献

近20多年,臭虫（Cimex spp.）在世界范围内成为常见的卫生害虫,其防治主要采用化学防治,但很多种群发现击倒抗性（Knockdown resistance gene, kdr）基因突变的存在以及抗药性。监测kdr的发生频率以及不同种群对农药的抗性对臭虫有效防治很重要,但我国对臭虫种群的抗药性报道很少。本试验采用点滴法测定了1个温带臭虫Cimex lectularius野外种群对氯虫苯甲酰胺、呋虫胺、吡虫啉、噻虫嗪和高效氯氰菊酯等5种药剂的毒性及抗性水平,使用区分剂量快速鉴定抗性方法对2个温带臭虫和2个热带臭虫Cimex hemipterus种群对高效氯氰菊酯的抗性水平进行了检测,此外用PCR方法检测8个臭虫地理种群（1个温带臭虫实验室种群,1个温带臭虫野外种群和6个热带臭虫野外种群）174个个体的kdr突变频率。点滴法结果表明,5种杀虫剂对温带臭虫的毒性是吡虫啉和呋虫胺>噻虫嗪>氯虫苯甲酰胺和高效氯氰菊酯,测试的野外温带臭虫种群仅对噻虫嗪无明显抗性。热带臭虫2个野外种群对高效氯氰菊酯的抗性均远高于温带臭虫。在温带臭虫的实验室种群中未检测到突变,在野外种群中检测到了V419L和L925I突变,可分为2种基因型类型（A：无突变位点;B：同时有L925I和V419L）,而在热带臭虫的6个种群检测到M918I和L1014F突变,只有1种基因型类型,即M918I和L1014F双位点突变。温带臭虫1个野外种群及热带臭虫6个野外种群kdr突变的存在与臭虫对高效氯氰菊酯敏感密切关联。基于kdr基因突变检测结果推测我国臭虫种群广泛存在对拟除虫菊酯的抗性。 相似文献

Abstract A trap for the collection of bedbugs, Cimex lectularius Linnaeus (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), is described. The trap was baited with CO2 (50–400 mL/min), heat (37.2–42.2 °C) and a chemical lure comprised of 33.0 μg proprionic acid, 0.33 μg butyric acid, 0.33 μg valeric acid, 100 μg octenol and 100 μg L‐lactic acid, impregnated into a gel. Laboratory studies, conducted in a square arena measuring 183 cm on each side, showed that traps with and without baits captured adult bedbugs, but traps with CO2 emissions of 50–400 mL/min caught significantly (P < 0.05) more bedbugs than traps without CO2. In an infested unoccupied apartment, traps with heat and with or without the chemical lure were tested without CO2 on 29 trap‐days and with CO2 on 9 trap‐days. The numbers of bedbugs captured were 656 and 5898 in traps without and with CO2, respectively. The numbers of bedbugs of all development stages captured were significantly greater in traps with CO2 (χ2 = 15 942, d.f. = 1, P < 10?9). A non‐parametric two‐way analysis of variance evaluation of six different traps with or without CO2, heat or a chemical lure monitored over 19 trap‐days in an infested apartment showed that trap type was highly significant (n = 2833 bedbugs collected) (P < 10?7). The trap with CO2, heat and a chemical lure captured more bedbugs than the other traps, but only caught significantly more fourth and fifth instar nymphs than all other traps. Otherwise, the catches in this trap did not differ significantly from those caught by traps that contained CO2 and heat only. The total numbers of bedbugs collected for each trapping date (pooling all six traps) followed an exponential decline over the trapping period. This type of trap, which caught bedbugs in unoccupied apartments with and without furniture, and in an occupied apartment, may have utility in studying the ecology of bedbugs, in detecting bedbug infestations and in reducing numbers of bites by trapping host‐seeking bedbugs. 相似文献

Of 479 eggs laid by female Cimex lectularius Linnaeus and C.hemipterus (Fabricius) mated by males of the other species, one was fertile and gave rise to a first stage nymph. The egg showed sculpturing typical of C.hemipterus, the female parent, and the nymph conformed to the narrow pronotum and abdomen of this species, being significantly different from C.lectularius in the width of the abdomen. Because the orientation and lengths of the bristles on the sides of the abdomen were distinctly different from C.hemipterus and closely resembled C.lectularius, the single nymph obtained from the cross C.hemipterus x lectularius was interpreted as being a hybrid rather than a product of parthenogenesis. 相似文献

A blood‐feeding system that utilizes a small amount of whole heparinized human blood in parafilm bags is described in detail, and similarities and differences between artificially fed and naturally rodent‐fed bed bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) are discussed. Blood with high levels of heparin (10%) was unsuitable for artificial colony rearing, whereas bed bugs fed on 1% heparinized blood and those that naturally ingested rat blood completed their lifecycle with similar stage structures over time, with no significant differences in mortality. No differences in feeding efficiency or fertility were found in a direct comparison of bed bugs maintained under each of these two treatments, but analysis of the full lifecycle revealed that artificially fed bed bugs became significantly smaller and laid fewer eggs than rodent‐fed bed bugs. The level of membrane stretching regulated the number of bed bugs that fed. When the membrane was stretched to twice its length and width, 96% of bed bugs successfully fed through the parafilm. Whole heparinized blood that was stored at 6 °C for ≥ 14 days failed to retain its nutritional value and the amount of blood consumed and number of consecutive moults were significantly reduced. 相似文献

Interspecific mating between male Cimex hemipterus and female C. lectularius bedbugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) occurs freely in the laboratory, even when many female C. hemipterus are available. Longevity and fertile egg production of female C. lectularius are reduced by mating with male C. hemipterus. In KwaZulu, South Africa, a correlation exists between the percentage of C. lectularius females which are interspecifically mated and the predominance of C. hemipterus in mixed domestic infestations of these bedbugs. When C. hemipterus constitutes over 75% of the infestation, the majority of C. lectularius females lay only sterile eggs. 相似文献

Accurate and timely surveillance of bed bug infestations is critical for the development of effective control strategies. Although the bed bug‐produced volatiles (E)‐2‐hexenal and (E)‐2‐octenal are considered as defensive secretions, the present study demonstrates, using ethovision® video‐tracking software (Noldus Information Technology Inc., Leesburg, Virginia), that low amounts of these commercially‐obtained aldehydes function as attractants, and high amounts function as local repellents, against the common bed bug Cimex lectularius L. In behavioural assays, both males and female C. lectularius are attracted to 0.04 µg of an aldehyde blend (1 : 1) for up to 1 h after initial treatment of filter paper disks. Males differ from females in their response to higher amounts of aldehydes, with females and males exhibiting maximum local repellency at 40 µg and 400 µg, respectively. The results suggest that these bed bug secretions may be candidates for lures and monitors. 相似文献

The interspecific cross-mating of female Cimex lectularius Linnaeus with male Cimex hemipterus (Fabricius) results in a visible mark developing in the female ectospermalege. This mark has been used to record the frequency of mating between female C.lectularius and male C.hemipterus in sympatric wild populations in a DDT-sprayed area of northern KwaZulu, South Africa. A high percentage (11/16 = 69%) of C.lectularius females were marked, showing that these two species mate in nature. 相似文献

The objective of this experimental study was to assess the insecticidal efficacy of afoxolaner (NexGard®) against bedbugs (Cimex lectularius ) on dogs. For each challenge,20 bedbugs were placed in two chambers positioned in contact to the dog’s skin for 15min,after which live fed parasites were counted and incubated for survival evaluations. On Day 0,7 dogs assigned to the treated group were administered afoxolaner orally at the registered dose. All 14 dogs were challenged on Days 1,7,14,21 and 28,and the collected live fed C. lectularius incubated for 72h (Day 1),and 72h and 96h (Days 7,14,21 and 28) for survival evaluation. The percent feeding in the control group ranged from 95% to 98.6% and the percent of live fed bedbugs at 96h ranged from 99.3% to 100% in the control group,demonstrating the viability of the strain and their capacity to feed on dogs. Significantly fewer live fed bedbugs were counted in the treated group,compared to the control group,at all time-points. The reduction of live fed C. lectularius in the afoxolaner group was 41.4% at 72h after the Day 1 challenge,and 77.2%,82.7%,85.0% and 63.5% at 96h after the Days 7,14,21 and 28 challenges,respectively. It is hypothesized that monthly treatment of dogs with afoxolaner could help in preventing a bed bug population from installing in a household if bedbugs bite dogs in the presence of humans. 相似文献

Susceptibility of the bedbug,Cimex lectularius,to selected insecticides and various treated surfaces
Abstract. Adult bedbugs, Cimex lectularius, were exposed for 24 h (25oC) to filter paper treated with various dilutions of the technical grade of nine insecticides dissolved in acetone to determine the concentration-response relationships. The order of toxicity, from most to least based on the LC50's was: dichlorvos, pirimiphos methyl, lambda-cyhalothrin, bendiocarb, permethrin, malathion, carbaryl, tetrachlorvinphos, and fenvalerate. The residual toxicities of commercial formulations of six of the chemicals diluted with water and applied to wood, cardboard, cloth and galvanized metal, were determined by exposing adult bedbugs at 3,7 and 12 weeks after treatment. The formulation of bendiocarb (FICAM® 76% W) had little residual activity on all surfaces at 12 weeks after treatment. The formulation of carbaryl (SEVIN® 21.5% L) was toxic to bedbugs on all surfaces at 12 weeks after treatment, but required high concentrations on wood, cardboard, and cloth. The formulation of pirimiphos methyl (ACTELLIC® 57% EC) had no residual activity on any of the surfaces at 12 weeks after treatment. The formulation of tetrachlorovinphos (RABON® 50% W) had residual activity for 12 weeks on all surfaces except metal. The formulation of permethrin (ATROBAN® 11% EC) had residual activity on only metal and wood while the formulation of lambda-cyhalothrin (KARATE® 13.1% EC) had residual activity 12 weeks on all surfaces. 相似文献

温带臭虫Cimex lectularius L.是一种重要的卫生害虫,严重影响人们的生活和健康。目前有关该虫的防治措施主要以喷洒化学杀虫剂为主,而杀虫剂的使用不当极易导致该虫抗药性的产生或进一步加重,还将对人身安全构成极大的威胁。因此,探索高效、安全的防治方法成为当前温带臭虫防治过程中亟待解决的问题。本研究在实验室条件下采用行为观察法评估了高分子聚合物-聚四氟乙烯对温带臭虫垂直和水平爬行能力的影响。结果表明,随着聚四氟乙烯涂层宽度的增加,温带臭虫的垂直攀爬能力逐渐降低,当涂层宽度为6 cm时可100%阻隔温带臭虫垂直攀爬,且涂层的持效期可达112 d以上。而聚四氟乙烯涂层无法阻止温带臭虫的水平扩散。研究结果可为温带臭虫的高效、安全物理预防提供理论依据和技术支持。 相似文献

A total of 54 bed bug‐infested sites (hotels, public accommodations, and residential premises) in Malaysia and Singapore was surveyed between July, 2005 and December, 2008. Only one species of bed bug was found, the tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus (Fabricius). Bed bug infestations were common in hotels and public accommodations when compared to residential premises. The three most common locations of infestation within an infested premise were the bedding (31.1%), the headboard (30.3%), and cracks and crevices surrounding the baseboard, wall, or floor (23.5%). We speculate that the route of movement of bed bugs in hotels and public accommodations is more direct than in residential premises. 相似文献

The common bedbug, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), is a globally re-emerging pest that is playing an increasing role in legal disputes and compensation claims as a result of its unpleasant feeding activity. However, there is little information about the feeding frequency of bedbugs outside controlled laboratory cultures. Here, we present a simple method of estimating the average time since the last bloodmeal of individual female bedbugs in a single sampling event, applicable to a single bedbug harbourage or an entire room. Using the temperature-dependent rate of decrease in the abdomen size of the bedbug after a bloodmeal, we found that, in a highly infested room kept at a constant temperature of 26°C, females fed every 2.5 days on average. Our method corrects for variations in body size across different populations and determines the shrinkage that occurs when individuals are preserved in ethanol. This method should, therefore, be widely applicable. It is cheap, rapid and, if coupled with information on the total number of bedbugs present in a room, allows for the estimation of the minimum number of times persons lodging in a room have been bitten by bedbugs. This method can also be used to calculate the feeding rate of other blood-sucking insects on their hosts. The sex ratio in the infestation was female-biased. Finally, our case study suggests that individual female bedbugs within a harbourage do not seem to feed at a regular rate, but tend to synchronize feeding patterns. 相似文献

Parasitoids are expected to have the ability to find, recognize, and perhaps to discern potential hosts that can best support the development of their progeny. Melittobia Westwood (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) are gregarious ectoparasitoids, which primarily attack mud daubers (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae). How Melittobia females locate their host is not well known, but the process may involve host‐related chemical signals. In this study, we investigated the roles of host chemical cues and natal rearing effect in host recognition by Mel. digitata Dahms. In an olfactometer that contained prepupae of Trypoxylon politum Say (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae), Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae), puparia of Neobellieria bullata (Parker) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), empty or intact host cocoons, or nest mud, Mel. digitata females spent significantly more time in air fields that contained T. politum (prepupae + cocoon) and Meg. rotundata (prepupae + cocoon) than in N. bullata and control fields. Nest mud and natal host had no attraction for parasitoid host choice. Most first and last choices of Mel. digitata females in the olfactometer were not consistent, suggesting an initial random dispersion, although they responded positively towards hosts in cocoons. 相似文献
