[QUOTE="agent A, post: 345803, member: 2948"] well I have the ability to make plates and at least identify bacteria to the genus level there are media that make certain species look a certain way, or that only allow certain species to grow and if you make gram stains and such you may be able to get to the genus level I'd be more concerned about protist parasites and things like that. I do have some info on illnesses tho: the common house cricket, [I]Acheta domesticus [/I]is to blame for sickness transfer from prey to mantis. There’s a virus and several bacteria/protist species that infect this cricket species and can infect mantises (Szelei et al. 2011, de Miranda et al. 2021). However, the banded cricket, [I]Gryllodes sigillatus[/I], does not have the same issues de Miranda, J. R., F. Granberg, P. Onorati, A. Jansson, and Å. Berggren. 2021. Virus prospecting in crickets—discovery and ctrain divergence of a novel iflavirus in wild and cultivated [I]Acheta domesticus[/I]. Viruses [B]13[/B]:364. Szelei, J., J. Woodring, M. Goettel, G. Duke, F.-X. Jousset, K. Liu, Z. Zadori, Y. Li, E. Styer, and D. Boucias. 2011. Susceptibility of North-American and European crickets to [I]Acheta domesticus[/I] densovirus (AdDNV) and associated epizootics. Journal of invertebrate pathology [B]106[/B]:394-399. [/QUOTE]
