Title Genetic analysis of bed bug populations reveals small propagule size within individual infestations but high genetic diversity across infestations from the eastern United States.
Author Saenz VL, Booth W, Schal C et al.
Date 2012
Description Researchers analyzed the genetics of 21 populations of bed bugs found in single residential rooms in the eastern U.S. They found high genetic variation between all populations sampled, suggesting multiple sources of infestation and little evidence for geographically organized dispersal.
