Synopsis
Excerpt from Insects as Carriers of the Chestnut Blight Fungus
It was early conjectured by Smith (45) and by Russell (41) that the black rot of cabbage due to Pseudomonas campestris may be transmitted by various insects. Evidence in support of this supposition has been brought forward by several writers; Brenner (5) showed that aphids may cause new infections, and Smith (46, pp. 306-307 succeeded in transmitting the disease by means of the larvae of a cabbage butterfly, Plusia.
