Introduction Cimicids in the Hemiptera are insects that feed on hosts’ blood. Despite the family Cimicidae contains 91 described species and can be divided into 6 subfamilies and 23 genera (Krinsky, 2019), most people refer bed bugs to the 3 better known species where humans serve as their hosts – tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus, common bed bug Cimex lectularius, and Eastern bat bug Leptocimex boueti.

Abstract Cimex species are ectoparasites that exclusively feed on warm-blooded animals such as birds and mammals. Three cimicid species are known to be persistent pests for humans, including the tropical bed bug C. hemipterus, common bed bug C. lectularius, and Eastern bat bug Leptocimex boueti. To date, genomic information is restricted to the common bed bug C. lectularius, which limits understand their biology and to provide controls of bed bug infestations.

Facile synthesis of oxygen defective yolk-shell BiO2-x for visible-light-driven photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli

| Royal Society of Chemistry Verified
Oxygen defective yolk-shell BiO2-x spheres are successfully synthesized by a facile solvothermal method for the first time. The variances between the diffusion rate of the core and the formation rate of the shell, which are caused by the temperature gradient originating from the heating rate, result in the formation of BiO2-x spheres with different interior structures.
