Why Are Bed Bugs So Hard To Kill? Scientists Uncover Genetic Survival Secrets

Bed Bugs on BedScientists mapped genomes of bed bug strains, identifying 729 mutations linked to insecticide resistance, offering insights for improved pest control. Scientists have successfully mapped near-complete and highly accurate genomes for two strains of bed bugs: one highly susceptible to insecticides and another “superstrain” that is roughly 20,000 times more resistant. This achievement provides the most […]
