Abstract
This study investigates the activity of
alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta,
across different developmental larval stages during normal and infected
conditions. The research highlights the enzyme's role in metabolic processes,
particularly during larval development and in response to bacterial and viral
infections. ALP activity was measured in the midgut and haemolymph, revealing a
clear pattern of increasing enzyme activity from the first to the fifth instar
larvae. The findings indicate that ALP plays a crucial role in nutrient
absorption and metabolic regulation, with significant variations observed
during infection.
