2021, JAAD InternationalCitation Excerpt :After World War II, bed bugs became uncommon in developed countries due to social and economic progress and insecticide development, whereas infestation in developing countries never decreased.3 Since the 1990s, reports of clusters or epidemics from many countries across the world suggest a resurgence of bed bugs.3,36-38 Our findings indicate that, during the last 17 years, interest among the general public regarding bed bugs did not stop growing, suggesting a further increase in their prevalence.
Investigating the association of bed bugs with infectious diseases: A retrospective case-control study
2021, HeliyonCitation Excerpt :Associations between bed bugs and infectious diseases are less clear [7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. The ability of bed bugs to directly transmit human pathogenic microbes has been the subject of contentious debate, but the insects have not been shown to be vectors of infectious agents despite a lack of well-designed clinical investigations [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. Research to date has focused almost exclusively on the entomologic aspects of disease transmission.
Severe anemia due to bed bugs hyperinfestation
2020, Microbial PathogenesisCitation Excerpt :They are one of the most common ectoparasites engaged in human life worldwide. Since 1990s, the formal reports of bed bugs resurgence in 135 countries from five continents pinpoint a serious problem for human wellness and health [2,3]. They are responsible for multiple economic problems affecting apartment complex, public transport and health centers.
