Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1898, Vol. 70: Published by the Authority of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy
Various insects were found to play a very important part in the distribution of the organisms. In general, it is claimed that the alcoholic ferments are carried to the grapes by ants, flies and gnats they can pass uninjured through the digestive canal of the diptera. They are very active in the intestines of the diptera, the temperature being suited to their development. - Expt. Sta. Bee, 1898, p. 1028.
