  abstract = {{T}he bed bugs ({C}imex lectulariusand {C}. hemipterus) have undergone a significant resurgence worldwide since the 1990s. {A} compilation of findings from a database, including 2650 scientific publications from seven major medical databases, allowed us to document main evolutionary events, from fossil evidence, dating from 11,000 years ago, until the present that has led to the current worldwide expansion of {C}imicidspecies. {W}e present the hypotheses on the possible dispersion pathways of bed bugs in light of the major historical and evolutionary events. {A} detailed classification of the {C}imicidae family and finally, an illustrative map displaying the current distribution of known {C}imex species in each geographical ecozone of {A}sia, {E}urope, {A}frica, the {A}mericas, and {A}ustralia are presented.},
