Bedbug (Cimex lectularius) samples adult and nymphs either engorged or starved from Central Security Forces sleeping wards, laboratory animal house and control samples from laboratory reared colonies were ground and subjected to ELISA test of hepatitis B surface antigen together with 276 serum samples from the recruits slept in those wards. In the camp 7 out of 30 samples of engorged adult bedbugs were positive to HBSAg and 5 out of 30 samples of starved bedbugs were positive. Regarding nymphs 4 out of 30 engorged samples showed positive results. One of five samples of engorged adult bedbugs from the laboratory animal farm was positive. The control samples were negative. Serum samples of 276 recruits showed 3.6% positive results of HBSAg.
从中央安全部队的睡眠病房、实验动物房采集饱血或饥饿的成年臭虫（温带臭虫）和若虫样本，以及来自实验室饲养群体的对照样本，将其研磨后与来自在这些病房睡觉的新兵的276份血清样本一起进行乙型肝炎表面抗原的ELISA检测。在营地中，30份饱血成年臭虫样本中有7份对乙肝表面抗原呈阳性，30份饥饿臭虫样本中有5份呈阳性。至于若虫，30份饱血样本中有4份显示阳性结果。来自实验动物农场的5份饱血成年臭虫样本中有1份呈阳性。对照样本为阴性。276名新兵的血清样本显示乙肝表面抗原阳性结果为3.6%。
