Abstract
Haemocytes are the free cells in the haemolymph of silkworms. The
overall haemocyte amount specifies the immunological stage of an insect. The
THC varies during the development and metamorphosis of various races of
the silkworm. The THC of a double hybrid bivoltine (FC1×FC2)
race changed into in comparison with
that of single hybrid bivoltine (CSR2×CSR4) in this work.
In the present study, the highest THC value was found at 3rd day of
20% Azolla treated IV instar larvae in two races under study, but a
higher count was found in FC1×FC2 (8533±611
cells/mm3) than CSR2×CSR4 (5493±646 cells/mm3). Further, an increased value of THC was
found in 5th day of 20% Azolla treated
V instar larvae of FC1×FC2 (19626±402 cells/mm3) than CSR2×CSR4 (18773±360 cells/mm3).
Two-way ANOVA observed by means of Dunnett’s multiple comparisons check
results indicate the significant differences between the two races in terms of
THC.
