The bed bugs ( and ) have undergone a significant resurgence worldwide since the 1990s. A compilation of findings from a database, including 2650 scientific publications from seven major medical databases, allowed us to document main evolutionary events, from fossil evidence, dating from 11,000 years ago, until the present that has led to the current worldwide expansion of species. We present the hypotheses on the possible dispersion pathways of bed bugs in light of the major historical and evolutionary events. A detailed classification of the Cimicidae family and finally, an illustrative map displaying the current distribution of known species in each geographical ecozone of Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Australia are presented.
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来,床虱(和)在全球范围内经历了显著的复兴。从一个数据库中收集的研究结果,包括来自七个主要医学数据库的 2650 篇科学出版物,使我们能够记录从 11000 年前的化石证据到目前导致当前全球 物种扩张的主要进化事件。我们根据重大的历史和进化事件提出了关于床虱可能传播途径的假设。对臭虫科进行了详细的分类,最后,展示了一张说明性地图,显示了亚洲、欧洲、非洲、美洲和澳大利亚每个地理生态区中已知 物种的当前分布。
