    speculative and calls for experimental proof. In the present cross reference it is not feasible to classify the cases into these categories, and the reader is referred to the numbered paragraphs for further details. Vectors oj Aspergillus spores: fl070 ORTHOPTERA: fl084 Blattella. Vectors of bacteria.—All insects are potential vectors of the bacteria and filth with which they come into direct contact. In some instances the bacteria cling to the outside of the insect’s body; in other cases the bacteria are taken into the insect through the latter’s mouth, and either regurgitated or passed in the excreta, or they make their way into the tissues of the insect. In connection with certain diseases (dengue, malaria, plague, tularaemia, yellow fever, etc.) the evidence that the insects in question transmit the disease is based upon experiment; in some cases it is based upon epidemio¬ logical data; in still other instances it is purely hypothetical or even speculative. See the numbered paragraphs for further data, includ¬ ing positive or negative results.
