Insects concerned: The cockchafer, Melolonth a melolontha ; 

 the gypsy moth, Porthetria ( Lymantria ) dispar ; and the 

 "brown-tail moth, Euproctis chrysorrhoea . 



Paillot (1918) isolated this organism, along with the 

 "beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon strains, from diseased 

 cockchafers. He (1919) conducted experiments with the 

 gypsy moth and the "brown- tail moth using Bacillus melolon - 

 thae liquefaciens alpha and found "both insects to "be 

 immune. 



Paillot differentiated "between Bacillus melolonthae 

 liquefaciens and strains and Bacillus melolonthae non - 

 liquefaciens and strains "by their ability to liquefy 

 gelatin. He (1933) discusses in considerable detail the 

 pathogenic action and immunity produced "by the different 

 strains of Bacillus non-liquef aciens .
