New species of oidiopsis from Aurangabad maharashtra (India)

Summary This paper deals with two new species ofOidiopsis, O. convolvuli andO. euphorbiae, on two new hostsConvolvulus arvensis L. andEuphorbia microphylla Heyne. It also makes two new reports of its imperfect stage onTagetes erecta L. andAbutilon indicum L.     

Life cycle and morphology ofMelampsora yezoensis onSalix serissaefolia

Uredinial and telial states of aMelampsora species occurring on the leaves ofSalix serissaefolia were for the first time recorded. Field observations and inoculation experiments showed that the spermogonial and aecial states of the fungus were formed onChelidonium majus var.asiaticum andCorydalis incisa. The fungus was identified asMelampsora yezoensis based on the morphological observation of all the spore states. Urediniospores were able to infectS. erocarpa andS. pierotii as well asS. serissaefolia andS. jessoensis. Salix serissaefolia, S. eriocarpa, andS. pierotii are new uredinial and telial hosts ofM. yezoensis, andC. majus var.asiaticum andC. incisa are new spermogonial and aecial hosts of the fungus.

The effects of culture media on Saprolegnia antigens

In a previous paper (Hodkinson &Hunter, 1970a) we reported that salmon, suffering from a disease called ulcerative dermal necrosis, appeared to have precipitating antibodies to the mycelium of a fungus associated with their diseased skin lesions. This was confirmed when antigens were prepared from pure cultures of the fungus, a species ofSaprolegnia (Hodkinson &Hunter, 1970b). In this paper we describe the effects of culture media on the antigenicity ofSaprolegnia mycelium, as detected by double gel diffusion with salmon sera.     

A note onSaissetia privigna [Hem.: Coccidae] in Pakistan and the breeding of its natural enemies

During a survey for the parasites and predators ofSaissetia privigna De Lotto, 4 additional species of natural enemies, namelyAnysis saissetiae (Ashm.),Metaphycus citricola Annecke & Mynhardt,Eublemma sp. andPullus coccidivora Ayyar were recorded in Pakistan.Aneristus ceroplastae How. andEncyrtus lecaniorum Mayr, which are known to be important parasites of this scale, were bred onS. privigna andPulvinaria sp. cultured on fruits ofCucurbita maxima in the laboratory.A. ceroplastae was introduced into France and proved useful in controllingCeroplastes rusci (L.) on citrus.
