The harmonic sums of odd-cycle lengths diverges for graphs of infinite chromatic number

A problem on odd cycles (proposed by Erdös and Hajnal [1])
Let \( G\) be a graph of infinite chromatic number and let \( n_1 < n_2 < \dots \) be the sequence consisting of lengths of odd cycles in \( G\). Is it true that

\(\displaystyle \sum \frac 1 {n_i} = \infty?\)

Gyárfás, Komlós and Szemerédi [2] proved that the set of all cycle lengths has positive upper density.
