The Biotic Associations of Cockroaches
Roth, Louis M. (Louis Marcus)
Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
Classification of the bacteria follows Breed et al. (1948). Synonymy in
most cases was taken from the same source. Names of bacteria preceded by
the symbol [cross] are either not listed by Breed et al. or are stated
by them to be insufficiently characterized for definite classification.
Use of asterisk is explained in footnote 3, page 4.

Cockroaches, U.S.A. (Longfellow, 1913).
* =Pseudomonas eisenbergii= Migula
_Natural and experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao,
1906).
* =Pseudomonas fluorescens= Migula
_Natural and experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao,
1898, 1906; Spinelli and Reitano, 1932).
_Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Gier, 1947): The organism was
pathogenic to the cockroach when injected.
[cross] =Spirillum periplaneticum= Kunstler and Gineste
_Habitat._--_Periplaneta americana_, France? (Kunstler and Gineste,
1906): From intestinal tract.
[cross] =Spirillum α, β, and γ= Dobell
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, England (Dobell, 1911, 1912): From hind
gut.
=Spirillum= sp.
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, U.S.S.R. (Zasukhin, 1930): From
intestinal tract.
Cockroaches, Venezuela (Tejera, 1926): From digestive tract.
* =Vibrio comma= (Schroeter) Winslow et al.
_Experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao, 1898; Spinelli
and Reitano, 1932).
_Blattella germanica_, Orient (Toda, 1923); Germany (Jettmar, 1927).
_Periplaneta americana_, Philippine Islands (Barber, 1914); Netherlands
(Akkerman, 1933); Formosa (Morischita and Tsuchimochi, 1926).
_Periplaneta australasiae_, Formosa (Morischita and Tsuchimochi, 1926).

=Vibrio tyrogenus= (Flügge) Holland
_Synonymy._--_Vibrio_ of Deneke.
_Experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao, 1898): The
organism passed through the intestinal tract unchanged.
[cross] =Vibrio Types I and II= Heiberg
_Habitat._--Water.
_Natural vectors._--Cockroaches, India (Pasricha et al., 1938): The
vibrios were found in 16 or 17 percent of 94 cockroaches and resembled
_Vibrio comma_ in their morphology and their main biochemical reactions;
however, serum-agglutination reactions differed.
=Vibrio= sp.
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, U.S.A. (Leidy, 1853): From intestine.
Family RHIZOBIACEAE
=Chromobacterium violaceum= (Schroeter) Bergonzini
