Ability of bed bug-detecting canines to locate live bed bugs and viable bed bug eggs.
The bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., like other bed bug species, is difficult to visually locate because it is cryptic. Detector dogs are useful for locating bed bugs because they use olfaction rather than vision. Dogs were trained to detect the bed bug (as few as one adult male or female) and viable bed bug eggs (five, collected 5-6 d after feeding) by using a modified food and verbal reward sys...
متن کاملDevelopment and Validation of a Lateral Flow Immunoassay Test Kit for Dual Detection of Casein and Î2-Lactoglobulin Residues
Allergies to cow’s milk are very common and can present as life-threatening anaphylaxis. Consequently, food labeling legislation mandates that foods containing milk residues, including casein and/or b-lactoglobulin, provide an indication of such on the product label. Because contamination with either component independent of the other can occur during food manufacturing, effective allergen mana...
متن کاملBed Bug Infestations and Control Practices in China: Implications for Fighting the Global Bed Bug Resurgence
The bed bug resurgence in North America, Europe, and Australia has elicited interest in investigating the causes of the widespread and increasing infestations and in developing more effective control strategies. In order to extend global perspectives on bed bug management, we reviewed bed bug literature in China by searching five Chinese language electronic databases. We conducted telephone int...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Bed Bug (
This study attempts to elucidate bed bug behavior in response to host cues and aggregation cues from conspecifics. Both fed and unfed bed bugs were evaluated to determine differences in behavior with regard to their circadian activities. Arena bioassays were conducted to determine the bed bug’s ability to locate a host from different distances and if the antennae were essential for host locatio...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Rapid Lateral Flow Point-of-Care Test for Detection of Cryptosporidium
A new rapid lateral flow fecal antigen detection test for Cryptosporidium was evaluated using diarrheal stool samples from a cohort of children in Bangladesh. The test had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 94% when compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay antigen detection.
