| Summary: | This thesis focuses on the effects of artificial and natural feeding system on the biological parameters of both common (Cimex lectularius Linnaeus) and tropical bed bugs (Cimex hemipterus [Fabricius]), and the climbing ability of both species on pitfall style monitoring traps. The feeding effectiveness of an artificial feeding system (Hemotek® membrane feeding system) for Cimex lectularius (Monheim [MH] and Sydney [SYD] strains) and C. hemipterus (Madam Mo [MM], Tanjung Tokong [TT], Queensland [QSL] and Kuala Lumpur [KL] strains) using two types of rabbit blood (defibrinated [Defibrinated Rabbit Blood, DRB] and heparinized [Heparinized Rabbit Blood, HRB]) were compared with natural feeding on a human host. |
