Abstract:
A kit and method for the detection of bed bugs is discussed. The kit comprises at least one pair of polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) amplification primers capable of forming a Cimicidae-DNA-amplification-product for a family of organisms of a Cimicidae. Additionally, the kit provides a specimen collection device for collecting a DNA sample from an area suspected of harboring one or more members of the Cimicidae family. The kit also provides a DNA probe having fluorescent primer chemistry. In a preferred embodiment, the nucleic acid amplification detection kit utilized a pair of PCR primers. The probe utilizes fluorescent primer chemistry and contains chemistry similar to Taqman Probes, Molecular Beacons, Hybridization Probes; or Eclipse Probes. Additionally, the kit contains a positive-control-Cimicidae DNA template for confirming Cimicidae-DNA-amplification-product.
