Bed Bug Genome Uncovers Biology of a Pest on the Rebound - MA, RI

-

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers participated in a multi-institute project that sequenced the genome of the common bedbug, a blood-sucking insect that has reemerged globally as a hardy pest capable of withstanding most major classes of insecticides. The genome of Cimex lectularius uncovers the genetic underpinning of bedbugs' unique biology and offers new targets for controlling them. Purdue entomologists Ameya Gondhalekar and Michael Scharf contributed to the international effort by annotating the bugs' antioxidant genes, which detoxify the blood they ingest and likely play a role in disarming certain types of insecticides.

Renting can be a way to obtain equipment without the need to spend extra capital. In the short-term, renting can be a great way to save money. However, for long-term projects, rental costs can add up quickly.
