The Biotic Associations of Cockroaches
Roth, Louis M. (Louis Marcus)
Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
* =Mycobacterium= spp.
_Natural vectors._--_Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Leibovitz, 1951;
Micks _in_ Roth and Willis, 1957a).
Family ACTINOMYCETACEAE
* =Nocardia= sp.?
_Natural vectors._--_Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Leibovitz, 1951).
Family STREPTOMYCETACEAE
=Streptomyces leidynematis= Hoffman
_Habitat._--Surface of the nematodes _Hammerschmidtiella diesingi_ and
_Leidynema appendiculata_ in _Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Hoffman,
1952, 1953): Eighteen percent of 192 nematodes found in 52 adult
cockroaches were infected with the bacterium.
Order CARYOPHANALES
Family ARTHROMITACEAE
=Arthromitus intestinalis= (Valentin) Peshkoff
_Synonymy._--_Hygrocrocis intestinalis._
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, Europe (Valentin, 1836; Robin, 1847,
1853; Peshkoff, 1940): Isolated from intestinal tract. The organism
appears as fragments in fecal masses or as fibers adhering to the mucous
membrane of the large intestine (Robin, 1853).
Cockroach, France? (Chatton and Pérard, 1913).
Order SPIROCHAETALES
Family SPIROCHAETACEAE
[cross] =Spirochaeta blattae= Tejera
_Habitat._--_Blaberus atropos_, Venezuela (Tejera, 1926): Isolated from
intestinal tract.
* [cross] =Spirochaeta periplanetae= Laveran and Franchini
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, France (Laveran and Franchini, 1920a).
Cockroaches, Venezuela (Tejera, 1926): Tejera reported finding
"_Spirochaeta blatarum_ Laveran et Franchini" which may have been a
lapsus.
Family TREPONEMATACEAE
[cross] =Treponema parvum= Dobell
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, England (Dobell, 1912); U.S.S.R.?
Zasukhin (1930): From intestinal tract.
[cross] =Treponema stylopygae= Dobell
_Synonymy._--_Spirochaeta stylopygae_ Zuelzer.
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, England (Dobell, 1912); U.S.S.R.?
Zasukhin (1930): From intestinal tract.
=Unidentified spirochaetes=
_Habitat._--_Blatta orientalis_, U.S.S.R. (Yakimov and Miller, 1922):
Spirochaetes and spirilla were found in the intestines of 70 percent of
124 specimens collected in Petrograd.
_Periplaneta americana_, Gold Coast Colony (Macfie, 1922).
ADDITIONAL BACTERIA WHOSE TAXONOMIC POSITION IS UNKNOWN
* "=B. aerobio del pseudoedema maligno=" of Cao
_Natural vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao, 1906).
=B. alcaligenes beckeri=
_Natural vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Poland (Nicewicz et al., 1946):
Isolated from intestinal tract.
* "=B. del pseudoedema maligno=" of Cao
_Natural vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao, 1906).
* "=Bacillo proteisimile=" of Cao
_Natural and experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao,
1898, 1906).
* "=Bacillo del barbone dei bufali=" of Cao
_Experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao, 1898).
* "=Bacillo similcarbonchio=" of Cao
_Natural and experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, Italy (Cao,
1898, 1906).
* "=Bacillo similtifo=" or "=Bacillo tifosimile=" of Cao
