Verticillium lecanii and Aphanocladium album infected in 5 days 90-95 % of the teliospores of Puccinia horiana, the major pathogen of Chrysanthemum. This suggests the possibility to expand the use of V. lecami, a commercial biocontrol agent against aphids, in order to control P. horiana, V. lecanii and A. album parasitized other microcyclic rusts but with a lesser frequency: P. dianthi (82 and 88 %), P. malvacearum {71 and 60 %) and P. glomerata (57 and 61 %). Cladosporium sphaerospermum. and C. uredinicola were less effective than V. lecanii and A. album against all rust species tested. Zusammenfassung Hyperparasitismus von Puccinia horiana und anderen mikrozyklischen RostpilzenVerticillium lecanii und Aphanocladium album infizierten in 5 Tagen 90-95 % der Teleutosporen von Puccinia horiana, dem wichtigsten Krankheitserreger von Chrysanthemen. Es erscheint deshalb moglich, V. lecanii, das gegen Blattlause eingesetzt wird, gegen P. horiana anzuwenden. V. lecanii und A. album befielen auch andere mikrozyklische Rostpilze, jedoch in geringerem Ausmafi: Puccinia dianthi (82 und 88%), P. malvacearum {71 und 60%) und P. glomerata (57 und 61%). Cladosporium sphaerospermum und C uredinicola waren gegen alle gepriiften Rostpilze weniger wirksam als V. lecanii und A. album.

A case of amoebic meningitis, presumably primary, was encountered in the Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore, South India, in November 1983. The patient, a 40-year-old man, had cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea before the meningitis developed. Acanthamoeba culbertsoni was repeatedly demonstrated in and cultured from the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient responded dramatically to a combination therapy of penicillin and chloramphenicol.
