Trial summary

During the last years, the investigators were the witness to the increase of a old emerging pest due to bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) in the world. Insecticides resistances apparitions and internationals transports increases seem to be the reasons of the pest. Read more about this study

About this study

During the last years, the investigators were the witness to the increase of a old emerging pest due to bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) in the world. Insecticides resistances apparitions and internationals transports increases seem to be the reasons of the pest. Cimex lectularius as vector of parasites, bacteria or virus was often suggested although not much observation are recently investigated in France. This study intends to examine the vectorial ability and the direct pathogenicity of Cimex lectularius.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Morphological identification of every bedbug Porterage of bacterial agents Porterage of viral agents Biomolecular identification of the insect A breeding of bedbugs Tests of sensibility in insecticides

    Measured: day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Study of the direct pathogenicity of lectularius C.

    During each of four consultations a questionnaire and a descriptive index card(form) of the general and dermatological signs will be informed. The criteria of evaluation, associated with anonimisées photos, are split into two groups: general Signs and dermatological Signs

    Measured: day 1, 7, 15 and 30

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Morphological identification of every bedbug Porterage of bacterial agents Porterage of viral agents Biomolecular identification of the insect A breeding of bedbugs Tests of sensibility in insecticides (time frame: day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
