In laboratory experiments Chironomus sp. larvae, exposed to the Australian strain of the mosquito pathogenic fungus Culicinomyces clavisporus Couch, Romney and Rao, were infected in the absence of a substrate but were not infected when given a substrate in which to tunnel and construct their cases. Possible reasons for this are discussed
