Effects of Wolbachia elimination and B-vitamin supplementation on bed bug development and reproduction

Hickin, M. L., Kakumanu, M. L., & Schal, C. (2022, June 17). Scientific Reports, Vol. 6.

By: M. Hickin n, M. Kakumanu n & C. Schal n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs; Dietary Supplements; Female; Nymph; Reproduction; Vitamin B Complex / pharmacology; Wolbachia
topics (OpenAlex): Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences; Insects and Parasite Interactions; Insect and Pesticide Research
TL;DR: In aposymbiotic bed bugs that were fed B-vitamins-supplemented blood, nymph development time, adult survivorship and hatch rate recovered to control levels, but adult size and egg number only partially recovered. (via Semantic Scholar)
