Damn those parasites. Swine flu has millions of folk worried. If we were citrus trees, we’d have other worries. Such as the above infection on a “healthy” orange tree leaf from our backyard. Fungus? Virus? I don’t know. The microscope photo was x200.

Below the fold you will find a shot at x60. And eggs! Insect eggs! The orange tree in our yard needs to take more showers, it seems. And wash the underside of its leaves with soap.
