Cal May Wipe Out Pests in Epidemic
Diagnosis of all types of
diseases in insects is a unique,
n e w service offered to sci-
entists, farmers and insecti-
cide specialists by the Uni-
versity of California.
The diagnostic laboratory "of
the College of Agriculture's di-
vision of biological control is
the only one of its kind in the
United States that has the
equipment and specialists to
diagnose diseases caused by 11
five groups of responsible or-
ganisms--viruses, bacteria, fun-
gi, protozoa and nematodes.
Research in the laboratory is
directed by Edward A. Stein-
haus, associate professor of in-
sect pathology and associate in-
sect pathologist in the experi-
ment station.
Field Tests
The first successful tests in
microbial control of a Califor-
nia crop pest had their begin-
ning in this laboratory: Subse-
quent field tests indicated that
insect disease epidemics c a n
be started artificially and may
be capable of controlling poten-
tially destructive populations
of pests.
"What started out to be a
research service to university
entomolsts has developed
into a poject of world-wide
proportions, and one of direct
benefit to California agricul-
ture," Steinhaus says.
The co-operation between in-
quiring scientists and the labo-
ratory has already led to t h e
discovery of about 30 new in-
sect diseases, to a better under-
tanding of the dynamics of
natural outbreaks of diseases,
and to the development of prom-
ising new methods of pest con-
trol.
400 Shipments
L
During the past three years
about 400 unsolicited shipments
of sick and dead insects sent to
the laboratory have been diag-
nosed. Most shipments come
from California research in-
stitutes, insectaries, farm ad-
visers, and farmers.
But about 60 shipments have
been received from 16 other
states, as well as from Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, and Washington,
D. C. And over 25 ' shipments
have come from Canada, China,
Bttrma, India, Australia, South
Africa, New Zealand, Israel,
Great Britain and France.
A culture of a sporeforming
bacillus, sent from Maryland,
was originally brought from
Germany before the last war.

Welcome Shipments
Insect shipments are wel-
comed by the laboratory, wheth-
er they come from France, In-
dia or Yule county. "Any ship-
ment that arrives may bring
insectaries, including t h us e
raised from testing as well as
those raised as insect parasites.
-This service is of particular
value to manufacturers of in-
secticides and to research labo-
ratories.
Diseased Insects
When a shipment of diseased
insects is received the univer-
sity supplies the shipper a full
diagnostic report after labora-
tory work is completed. T h e
period of time involved varies
from a few days to several
months.
Persons or organizations de-
Siring the service should first
obtain shipment instructions by
writing to the laboratory of in-
sect pathology, division of bio-
logical control, University /of
California, Berkeley, 4, Calif.
