Specialists at the University of Cincinnati and Baylor College deciphered the genome of the bed bug to understand how to eliminate a pest resistant to modern insecticides, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net The obtained data show exactly how the parasite has adapted to survive - its body produces special enzymes that destroy toxic substances.

In addition, pests are born with a more dense surface of the body, which helps protect against chemical attack.

However, in the life of parasites, there is a period when it is much easier to destroy them. The bedbug microbiome contains about 1500 genes that promote more stable reproduction and growth. Some genes regulate the mechanism of self-protection from pesticides. Finding bacteria attacking the bug microbiology, scientists will be able to open a more effective way to combat bugs than standard insecticides.
