Transcriptomics of the Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius).
PLoS One. 2011;6(1):e16336
Authors: Bai X, Mamidala P, Rajarapu SP, Jones SC, Mittapalli O
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are blood-feeding insects poised to become one of the major pests in households throughout the United States. Resistance of C. lectularius to insecticides/pesticides is one factor thought to be involved in its sudden resurgence. Despite its high-impact status, scant knowledge exists at the genomic level for C. lectularius. Hence, we subjected the C. lectularius transcriptome to 454 pyrosequencing in order to identify potential genes involved in pesticide resistance.
