ABSTRACT Chlamydospores of Thielaviopsis basicola were consistently observed in frass excreted by adults and larvae of shore flies that were collected in the immediate vicinity of naturally infected corn-salad plants obtained from a commercial greenhouse production facility. Approximately 95% of the adult flies and 85% of the larvae were internally infested with the pathogen. Pathogen-free adult shore flies were subsequently shown to acquire the pathogen by ingestion after feeding on naturally infected plants. Viable propagules of the pathogen were excreted by these internally infested adults and were capable of transmitting the pathogen to healthy seedlings, which subsequently became infected.
摘要 在从商业温室生产设施中获得的自然感染的玉米沙拉植物附近采集的成虫和幼虫的粪便中，始终观察到基生瓶霉的厚垣孢子。大约 95%的成虫和 85%的幼虫体内受到病原体感染。随后的研究表明，无病原体的成体岸蝇在食用受自然感染的植物后通过摄食获得了病原体。这些体内受感染的成虫排泄出有活力的病原体繁殖体，并能够将病原体传播给健康的幼苗，使它们随后受到感染。
