Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a disease which was ravaging the pine forests of northern Germany in the 1860s, decimating the population of pine looper caterpillars. The author, an experienced scientist, was commissioned by the Prussian government to investigate the phenomenon. Observing the caterpillars under a microscope, the author made a groundbreaking discovery: the caterpillars were infected with a fungus that produced tiny cells that caused the insects' blood to ferment, slowly killing them. The author was able to isolate this fungus, study its life cycle and even induce it to grow in a laboratory setting. This discovery was groundbreaking in the field of plant pathology because it revealed the role that fungi could play in causing disease in animals. This book is now considered a classic text in the study of insect pathology, and was instrumental in the development of modern microbiology.
