Abstract A description is provided for Erysiphe cruciferarum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Chiefly on members of the Cruciferae but also reported on Papaveraceae (Junell, 1961). DISEASE: Powdery mildew of swedes and tumips. The first signs of mildew consist of small patches of a thin white mycelium arising at various places on the leaf, often appearing first on the under surface. These soon merge forming larger areas of mycelium. The leaves of the swede, B. napus, may support heavy mildew growth for many weeks before they become chlorotic and die. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World-wide. TRANSMISSION: Wind-borne conidia. The method of ovewintering is uncertain but myelium may be able to survive on winter Brassica spp. in the form of 'subinfections' (Searle, 1919).

Abstract A description is provided for Microsphaera penicillata. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On species of Alnus, Betula, Syringa, Lathyrus, sweet peas and numerous other hosts (Saknon, 1900; Stevens, 1925; 39: 739; 41: 175) DISEASES: Powdery mildew of alder and lilac. Forms a white to grey floury appearance on the surface of broad leaves of many hard wood trees. It is more prevalent on sweet peas than Erysiphe pisi (CMI Descript. 155) in North America in spring when temperature and humidity are fluctuating. The foliage may be malformed, dropping prematurely or drying out and shrivelling. It is also prevalent on lilac in late summer and autumn, sometimes in dry seasons almost completely covering the foliage, but generally too late in the season to cause serious damage. Young leaves are more susceptible. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World-wide on alder and lilac and occasionally occurring on numerous other hosts. Distributed generally in North America and Europe, also reported from Chile, China, India and Japan (Salmon, 1900, 39: 739; 41: 175). TRANSMISSION: Spores wind borne.

Abstract A description is provided for Leveillula taurica. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Gossypium barbadense, G. hirsutum and Cyamopsis psoraloides[Cyamopsis tetragonoloba]. Also on many other trees and shrubs belonging to the Leguminoseae, Malvaceae and Euphorbiaceae (Salmon, 1900; Blumer, 1933; Tarr, 1955; 37: 521). DISEASES: Powdery mildew of cotton and guar. The host becomes completely covered with the fungus which mostly forms conidia and rarely cleistothecia. Severe attacks cause defoliation. Komarov (1895) reported that in Seravschan-Turkestan every plant of the steppes up to 1219-1524 m is attacked. The fungus does not occur beyond 1829 m. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World wide but mainly in the mediterranean region, Central Europe and the Near East (Dennis, 1960; CMI Map 217; 37: 400). TRANSMISSION: Wind borne. In the Sudan the pathogen over-summers on Euphorbia heterophylla, a common weed (37: 521).

Abstract A description is provided for Beauveria bassiana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS & SUBSTRATA: All stages of insects of all groups; lungs of wild rodents, nasal swab of horse; man; giant tortoise. The fungus overwinters in vegetable matter and is found in the soil. DISEASE: The fungus has been known since 1835 as the cause of the muscardine disease of silkworms. Although B. bassiana has multiplied in bees in laboratory tests it has so far not been recorded from bees in nature (Bailey, 1971). According to Wasti & Hartman (1975) penetration of the cuticle of gypsy moth (Porthetria dispar[Lymantria dispar]) larvae takes place 24 h after 2nd instar larvae have crawled over a culture of B. bassiana and within 64h the interior of the insect is completely filled with hyphae. These authors also note penetration of the gut wall. Fargues & Vey (1974), who sprayed conidia on to 3rd instar larvae of Leptinostarsa decemlineata (Colorado beetle), showed that conidia germinate on the surface of the integument, penetrate the loosening skin, and blastospores develop in the moulting fluid, infecting the new integument as it forms. Some individuals cannot finish the moult, in others the delicate new skin ruptures and hyphae enter the haemolymph. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World wide.
