Do bedbugs transmit some diseases?
Written by Abet Tonny
A stunning 2015 research demonstrated that bedbugs are capable of transmitting Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite that causes Chagas disease. Over 40 disease carrying parasites and viruses like Hepatitis B and HIV have been detected in bedbug after days of feeding suggesting mechanical transmission of these dangerous pathogens by bedbug is possible. Drug resistant bacteria like MRSA and VSE have also been detected in bedbug. Scientists reveal that bedbugs can serve as vector through mechanical transmission and direct transmission.
