After analyzing the usual bed bugs found in different parts of our planet, scientists were able to establish that the they were brought to man by bats. Results of the analysis with the global community to share publishing BBC Earth.
American scientists from Oklahoma was recently conducted an analysis of genes usual bed bugs. The researchers wanted to understand where all they could appear. In my research, researchers from the University of Tulsa came to the conclusion that little bloodsuckers, to settle with a man in bed, conducted their parasitic existence at-bats. To do this, scientists led a strong genetic evidence for the origin of bed bugs.
Archaeologists and historians have noted that a person bedbug known since the time of ancient Egypt. They were found fossils, similar to a conventional bed bug, whose age varies around 3,500 years.
Scientists have collected about 13 species of bed bugs all over the world. Most of them were taken in Central and Eastern Europe. The results of the study, researchers found that the earlier bugs did not exchange their DNA with their brethren, who until then, sir parasitic on bats. Although they could do, because some bats lived in the attics of buildings and premises in the closet, in which people lived and were collected for analysis of bed bugs.
As for the bugs that still infest bats then they came back in the days when the mice lived with a man in the caves and caverns.
