Epidemiology of bed bugs

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I choose this article it is a relevant topic right now as there is an issue with them spreading from Paris recently. They aren't seen as dangerous however they can be and are a human health nuisance. My preliminary impression is that the article is very short and thrown together with only a few headings.

The lead is very short, not a great introduction sentence either. It is also mainly discussing bed bugs from the 30s to the 80s but nothing for present times. We know that are presently an issue however. They also reference that this isn't an issue in underdeveloped countries, however I am unsure of the truth behind that. Also, in the talk page someone references this point as well. On top of that, under the "worldwide" section there are only three countries!

The statements in general are also interesting, some of the sentences are confusing. Otherwise, I think it could be a good article with some more information and some modifications.
