Data on the increase in the number of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) at the end of the XX century and the beginning of the XXI century in highly developed countries of Europe, America and Australia and the cases of this phenomenon are given. In this review the hygienic and epidemiological significance of bed bugs is discussed. In bed bugs 25 pathogens were found: bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, helminthes, 5 of these pathogenic microorganisms can multiply inside them. Data on hepatitis B virus and possible infection of humans with this microorganism by inhalation make for particular interest. Attention is paid to the development of a new insecticide to combat bed bugs.
