Extract

The micro-organisms that accur in insects may be pathogenic, nonpathogenic, supposedly or actually beneficial, or casual invaders. The literature on the various aspects of the subject has become extensive (Buchner, 1953; Fraenkel, 1952; Shrewsbury and Barson, 1954a, 1954b; Steinhaus, 1946, 1949).
