1 Pascal DELAUNAY Global Emergence of Bed bugs Cimex lectularius An Increasing cause of Dermatitis Pascal DELAUNAY Parasitologie - Entomologie Médicale Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice FRANCE

2 Bed bugs Cimex lectularius Terzi in R.L.USINGER 1966, The Thomas Say Foundation VII, Baltimore, USA. Ectoparasite Hematophagous for both sexs Feed on humans and/or domestic animals Adults and Nymphs walking insect wingless Reddishbrown, flat, ovals, resembling confetti cosmopolite insects living preferently in house

3 Bed bugs Cimex lectularius 1 mm 1 to 4 mm nymph stage 1 Eggs and faecal traces Nymph stages 2 ou 3

4 Adult male Global Emergence of Bed Bugs Cimex lectularius - An Increasing Cause of Dermatitis Bed bugs Cimex lectularius N5 Traumatic insemination N4 Adult female Egg Nymphs N1-N2-N3-N4-N5 Adult male or femelle Egg N2 N1 Time of a blood meal 10-20mn Adult life span 6-24 months Duration of life cycle (egg to egg) days from 30 to 200 days Time to egg laying after mating Female egg-laying rate Hatching time Time between 2 nymph stages Lifetime total number of eggs 3-10 days 5-15 eggs per day 7-15 days 3-7 days eggs N3 Bedbugs number = secret increase then exponential increase

5 Active Bed bugs - DISPERSAL Passive

6 Pascal DELAUNAY Active Dispersal. Bed bugs do not have wing Bed bugs walk! From hiding place to a new hiding place Local spreading Pascal DELAUNAY Véronique BLANC Pascal DELAUNAY bedbugs, feces, eggs..hiden in mattress, cracks, furnitures, curtains.

7 Passive Dispersal. Bedbugs do not have wing! But.Bed bugs travel! clothing, luggage, furniture World spreading

8 Human vs Bed Bugs BALANCE MILLENNIUM Adaptation, years ago KNOWLEDGE correlated to the age > 70 years «Commentaires sur la matière médicale de Dioscoride» par MATTHIOLI Bois gravé de l édition de John GOODYER 1655 Who knows the bed bug? Knowledge of adult bed bug appearance increases with people's age in three counties of Great Britain. Reinhardt K et al. J Med Entomol Sep;45(5):956-8.

9 Global Emergence of Bed Bugs Cimex lectularius - An Increasing Cause of Dermatitis Number Increase in the 1990s WHY? Increasing number of PubMed citations for the search words "Bedbugs - Bed bugs - Cimex " 2012

10 Type Time Global Emergence of Bed Bugs Cimex lectularius - An Increasing Cause of Dermatitis Volume Increase in the 1990s WHY? TRANSPORT Number Confort Distance Enhanced resistance to pyrethroid insecticides The re-emergence of the bed bug as a nuisance pest implications of resistance to the pyrethroid insecticides. Davies TG, Field LM, Williamson MS. Med Vet Entomol Sep 26(3): doi: /j x. Epub 2012 Jan 11.
