By: V. Saenz n, R. Maggi n , E. Breitschwerdt n , J. Kim *, E. Vargo n & C. Schal n 

Ed(s): S. Palli

MeSH headings : Animals; Bartonella / genetics; Bartonella / isolation & purification; Bedbugs / microbiology; Burkholderia / genetics; Burkholderia / isolation & purification; DNA, Bacterial / chemistry; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; DNA, Intergenic / chemistry; DNA, Intergenic / genetics; Geography; Humans; Insect Vectors / microbiology; Molecular Sequence Data; Polymerase Chain Reaction; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 23S / genetics; United States
TL;DR: This investigation investigated whether the resurgences of these medically important pathogens and their potential vector might be linked, by screening for Bartonella spp. (via Semantic Scholar)

2012 journal article

Genetic Analysis of Bed Bug Populations Reveals Small Propagule Size Within Individual Infestations but High Genetic Diversity Across Infestations From the Eastern United States

Journal of Medical Entomology, 49(4), 865–875.

By: V. Saenz n, W. Booth n, C. Schal n  & E. Vargo n

author keywords: Cimex lectularius; population genetics; gene flow; introduced species; microsatellite
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / genetics; Female; Gene Flow; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Introduced Species; Male; Microsatellite Repeats; United States
TL;DR: The results suggest that nearly all the studied infestations were started by a small propagule possibly consisting of a singly mated female and/or her progeny, or a female mated with multiple males that were highly related to her. (via Semantic Scholar)
