Abstract:
The potential of the meconium of the introduced pine sawfly, Diprion similis, as a medium for the maintenance and dissemination of microorganisms was investigated. Isolates of the fungi Aspergillus flavus and four species of Penicillium were obtained. The bacteria isolated represented four genera of Eubacteriales. Pathogenicity of all microbial isolates was established under laboratory conditions. © 1969.
