The lesions in this disease are strikingly like those induced by other organisms of this group, e. g., Bacterium hyacinthi and Bad. vascularum. The vascular system is occluded by the bacteria to an astonishing degree. So far as I know, scarcely anything comparable to it in extent and severity occurs in the animal body, the nearest approach, perhaps, being certain septicaemias (figs. 54, 55,56).

So far as I know, scarcely anything comparable to it in extent and severity occurs in the animal body, the nearest approach, perhaps, being certain septicaemias (figs. 54, 55,56). There is this astonishing difference, however, due to the very different character of the circulation in plants and animals, that while in many cases the general septicaemias of the animal body are rapidly fatal, a few days sometimes sufficing, this disease of maize progresses slowly in spite of the presence of enormous numbers of the bacteria, and destroys the plant apparently only when the water-conducting tissues (vascular.
