How Bed Bugs Develop Resistance to Insecticides
ScienceDaily (Oct. 20, 2011) — Bed bugs, largely absent in the U.S. since the 1950s, have returned to all 50 states with a hungry vengeance in the last decade. These insects have developed resistance to pyrethroids, one of the very few classes of insecticide used for their control. A research team at Virginia Tech has [...]

Bedbug genetic study finds possible pesticide-resistance genes
Ohio State University entomologists have conducted the first genetic study of bedbugs, paving the road to the identification of potential genes associated with pesticide resistance and possible new control methods for the troublesome insect, whose sudden resurgence in the United States has led to a public health scare. The discovery was reported Jan. 19 in [...]
