Bed bugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae ) are a globally distributed hematophagous pest that routinely feed on humans. Unlike many blood-sucking arthropods, they have never been linked to disease transmission in a natural setting, and despite interest in their role as disease vectors, little is known about the viruses that bed bugs naturally harbor. Here, w...

... with an insect virus sister to the Hantaviridae (Figure 3). This agrees with the findings of 326 Käfer et al. (2019) and supports the hypothesis that the Hantaviridae may have originated from 327 arthropod viruses, and subsequently shifted to infecting vertebrate hosts ( Marklewitz et al., 328 2015). ...

... is interesting to note 338 that Sbbv2 has persisted in the bed bug lineage despite shifts in feeding strategy from plants to 339 other insects, to obligate blood feeders (Johnson et al., 2018). Our bunyavirus phylogeny 340 (Figure 3) also suggests that the tenuiviruses, which are important insect-transmitted plant 341 viruses, infected their insect hosts before evolving the ability to infect plants. This is indicated 342 ...

Background Bed bugs are hematophagous insects with a long history of presence in human communities. Over the last three decades, infestations by bed bugs in human dwellings have drastically increased, leading to a rise in bed bug concerns. Nevertheless, very little is known about the bed bug species and their population diversity in Algeria. Metho...
