Abstract
Cockroaches have great significance for the dermatologic community, if only because of the many reports and claims implicating the cockroach as a vector for human disease. This review discusses aspects fundamen tal to cockroach biology and summarizes some of the basic and clinical scientific works which contribute to the claims about roaches.
