“…This could suggest that most of the samples from the present study were collected from units with established C. hemipterus infestation except BLD, which has r = 0.844, suggesting potential recent introduction. Interestingly, Narain et al [24] also reported contrasting results from previous reports on C. lectularius [21,22,25] whereby they found high heterozygosity and allelic diversity in C. lectularius populations from Midwest, USA despite showing high relatedness of >0.5 across of the populations studied, which indicates local variation could have influenced the differences observed.…”

“…Interestingly, we found a contrasting scenario in the population genetic structure and breeding dynamics of the sympatric species, C. lectularius. Generally, C. lectularius displayed reduced genetic diversity in nuclear DNA (microsatellites and ITS1 region [20]) while displaying elevated diversity in the mtDNA region, though exceptions exist [24]. The discordance in the life strategy and infestation dynamics of the two species was remarkable given the status of the two species being the major cosmopolitan, anthropophilic, and hematophagous members of the Cimicids family.…”

“…To date, studies on the population genetics and breeding strategy of the bed bugs were heavily focused on the common bed bug, C. lectularius [20][21][22][23][24][25], in which these aspects are important to understand the infestation dynamics of this insect. This information, however, remains limited for the tropical species, C. hemipterus [26].…”

The tropical bed bug, Cimex hemipterus (F.), has now emerged as an important public health pest in the tropics. Despite its alarming infestation rate, the information on its population genetics remains scarce. Here, we described the infestation structure and population dynamics of C. hemipterus in the tropics, especially Malaysia and Singapore, based on eight novel microsatellites and two mtDNA markers, including cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and 16S rRNA genes. Across populations, microsatellite data revealed high genetic diversity with significant genetic differentiation and restricted gene flow. Analysis within populations revealed evidence of a recent bottleneck. Nonetheless, elevated genetic diversity in nearly all populations suggests that the propagule in C. hemipterus populations were much diverse, distantly related (mean r = 0.373), and not significantly inbred (mean FIS = 0.24) than that observed in Cimex lectularius from previous studies. We observed seven mtDNA haplotypes across the 18 populations studied (Hd = 0.593) and several populations displayed more than one matrilineal descent. The two markers were generally congruent in suggesting a common, genetically diverse (especially at the nuclear region) source population with possibilities of multiple introductions for the bed bug populations in the present study.

RESUMOOs percevejos de leito são pequenos insetos hematófagos que podem fazer infestações silenciosas, podendo viver até um ano sem se alimentar. Esses percevejos são socialmente indesejáveis e frequentemente associados a local de pouca higiene, porém podendo infestar grandes hotéis, residências e outros. Locomovem-se com muita facilidade, viajando grandes distân-cias e continentes. Apesar de não serem classificadas como de grande importância sanitária, podem ser vetores de graves doenças além do incômodo causado e grandes prejuízos financeiros. O estudo tem o objetivo de mostrar o aumento da incidência dessa praga, controle sanitário adequado e métodos de controle e prevenção utilizados.Palavra-chave: Percevejo de leito, pragas, higiene, controle sanitário. ABSTRACTThe bed bugs are small bloodsucking insects that can make silent infestations and can live up to a year without feeding. These bugs are socially undesirable and often associated with place of poor hygiene, but can infest large hotels, residences and others. Locomovem up very easily, traveling great distances and continents. Although not classified as major health significance, can be vectors of serious diseases besides the caused inconvenience and huge financial losses. The study aims to show the increased incidence of this pest, adequate sanitary control and methods of control and prevention used.
