Abstract
A cursory examination of this volume indicates the breadth of interest in pathogens that prey on or are transmitted by insects. Even “Drosophila geneticists” are looking at “sick fruit flies” and characterizing “cytoplasmically inherited” agents which produce abnormalities that mimic lethal or sublethal mutants. The prototype infection in Drosophila is sensitivity to carbon dioxide caused by sigma virus (L’Heritier, 1958). Plus and Duthoit (1969) has described a new virus P that causes a cessation in egg production, and Akai et al. (1967), Filshie et al. (1967), and Perotti and Bairati (4968) have all described uniformly shaped polyhedral viral particles in several types of tissues from a variety of life stages in Drosophila melanogaster.
