Caption:
This image depicts a cockroach directed to walk across an open Petri dish culture plate containing an agar growth medium. This demonstration illustrates that cockroaches can act as disease carriers. See PHIL 26947, which shows the microbiologic colonies that developed following the deposition of contaminants from the insect’s legs as they contacted the agar surface.
