The fact that some squash bugs transmitted S. marcescens to cubes or plants within 24-48 hr indicates that if there is a latent period it is moderately short.
The squash bugs retained S. marcescens and were able to transmit the bacterium at least as long as 21 days post-acquisition, the duration of the experiments.
S. marcescens was detected inconsistently in the hemolymph of bacteria-fed insects; its presence there did not correlate with ability to transmit.
