Sokoloff, V.P., & Klotz, L.J. 1941 A bacterial pathogen of the citrus red scale.. Science 94(2428): 40-41.

Notes: Adult females and crawlers of the red scale on field lemons can be infected and destroyed, under laboratory conditions, by a spore-forming, nitrate-reducing motile bacterium isolated from a certain soil, in connection with denitrification studies. Spraying with active cultures, immersion and dusting with the spores of the bacterium were studied as methods of bringing about a mass infection of the scale on lemons and on a number of other hosts.
