Abstract
GERMINATION of comparatively young oospores of Phytophthora erythroseptica has been obtained following passage through the digestive tract of the garden snail, Helix aspersa. These oospores were produced in oat agar cultures maintained at 20° C. for 4–6 weeks. Portions of the culture were fed to snails, and the excreta collected and kept in a moist atmosphere at room temperature. The old oogonial and antheridial walls appeared unaltered by this treatment, and within a few days germination of a number of oospores was observed.
