摘要
A disease of the cicada Okanagana rimosa Say caused by a nonsporeforming bacterium is described. A chalky-white color of the extremities and thorax is the most obvious sign of the disease. The natural prevalence has been calculated at 0.1%. The pathogen has been isolated, its morphology has been described, and attempts at in vitro culturing were successful. The close relationship of the pathogen to the family of the Corynebacteriaceae and especially to the genera Corynebacterium and Arthrobacter is discussed. © 1969.
