Excerpt from The Cause of European Foul Brood The question now arises whether or not there is more than one disease in the condition now known as Euro-pean foul brood. In Switzerland and in Germany there has been a tendency to diagnose the diseased brood in which Bacillus alvei is found as the foul brood of Cheshire and Cheyne and the diseased brood in which Strepto coccus apis is found as sour brood. From the facts at hand the writer is strongly inclined to believe that these two conditions are only the one disease, known in America as European foul brood. Enough evidence has not yet been obtained, however, to speak with complete positiveness on this point. As secondary invaders some of the Species of bacteria mentioned in this paper may and probably do exert an in¿uence on the course of the disease in the larva and in the colony. To what extent these bacteria modify the disease is yet to be determined. Should it be found that Bacillus alvei actually causes an infectious brood disease, then such a disease should be called European foul brood, and the disease. Caused by Bacillus pluton would have to be differentiated from it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
