Tomecki YR 2017 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/84/3/207.abstract AB Bedbugs—hematophagous parasitic arthropods of the genus Cimex—have been unwelcome bedfellows for humans for thousands of years. With increases in population density, ease of travel, and insecticide resistance, bedbugs have reemerged. As a result, physicians are often at the forefront in the diagnosis and treatment of bedbug infestation. This review summarizes the biology and epidemiology of bedbugs and provides details on the diagnosis and treatment of bedbug infestation.
