“…A heightened awareness of this problem has developed in the state of Florida (where there has been a 10‐fold increase in bedbug pesticide services), and in the major US cities of Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco (11–15). Similar increased rates of infestation have been observed in the United Kingdom and Brazil (3,16–18).…”

The incidence of skin disease secondary to infestation with the human bedbug, Cimex lectularius, has increased dramatically in the United States and in the United Kingdom. We describe a child with a recurrent pruritic eruption of urticarial, erythematous papules on the face, neck, and extremities. The etiology of her cutaneous lesions was discovered to be a bedbug infestation in the home. The epidemiology, entomology, presentation, and treatment of bedbugs and their bites are discussed.

In the family Cimicidae, the genus Cimex stands out for its importance in public health. These hemipterans are known as “bed bugs” and their presence generally indicates poor hygiene and poverty. Cimex lectularius is a hematophagous insect and has a global distribution. In Brazil, control occurs indirectly, due to the control of other vectors. The real knowledge of the epidemiological situation is still compromised by under-reporting. To contribute to the knowledge of the biology and taxonomy of these hematophagous insects, the morphological characters of adults and the five nymphal instars of C. lectularius were analyzed and characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Morphological study by SEM allowed the characterization of eggshell, each nymphal instar, the sexual differentiation of fifth instar nymphs, female, and male external genitalia. In this study it was possible to evaluate the morphological characters of C. lectularius, of all five nymphs’ instars. It is relevant to characterize the morphology of these insects, since the results obtained can contribute to the control actions, as well as to the taxonomic studies of this species.

“…No Brasil, por meio das campanhas de controle dos vetores da Febre Amarela, Dengue, Malária e doença de Chagas, as infestações foram controladas de forma indireta, reduzindo drasticamente sua ocorrência (NEGROMONTE et al, 1991). Porém, em um levantamento realizado em 1990 em alguns distritos próximos a Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, estes autores encontraram uma prevalência de infestação de cerca de 7,26% nos domicílios averiguados.…”

“…Entretanto, uma hipótese comum a todos os autores é a de que a manifestação de resistência aos inseticidas largamente utilizados para o controle das infestações no passado tenha papel de destaque entre as causas de seu retorno. Portanto, é justo dizer que se enfrenta um novo surto na ocorrência desses insetos (NEGROMONTE et al, 1991) e que as novas infestações trazem como agravante o fato de alcançarem escala global e não demonstrarem sinais de reversão (BOASE, 2001).…”
