Histamine excretion in common indoor and hematophagous arthropods

Principato, S., Romero, A., Lee, C.-Y., Campbell, K., Choe, D.-H., Schal, C., & DeVries, Z. (2023, August 24). (W. Booth, Ed.). Journal of Medical Entomology, Vol. 8.

Ed(s): W. Booth

author keywords: bed bug; histamine; hemipteran; feces; indoor environment
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Histamine; Phylogeny; Bedbugs / physiology; Feeding Behavior; Mammals
topics (OpenAlex): Dermatological diseases and infestations; Insects and Parasite Interactions; Allergic Rhinitis and Sensitization
TL;DR: The results indicate that histamine excretion is limited to hematophagous hemipterans (bed bugs, bat bugs, tropical bed bugs, and kissing bugs), suggesting that indoor histamine contamination in the United States can be primarily linked to bed bugs. (via Semantic Scholar)
