Detection by Ultraviolet Light of Stored-Product Insects Infected with Mattesia dispora1

Abstract
Trogoderma glabrum (Herbst), T. inclusum LeConte, and Indian-meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), larvae that are infected with the schizogregarine Mattesia dispora Naville fluoresce a bright yellow-green under 366 mµ light. An ultraviolet spectrum analysis of spore suspensions revealed an emission spectrum of 512.3 mµ.
