Abstract
Aim of the present investigation was to analyse the haemolymphs lipid
and protein concentration in the last instar larva of Samia ricini
inoculated with Nosema in three different seasons. It was found that
during the development of 5th instar larva of Samia ricini,
in normal group haemolymphs lipid concentration was found to be comparatively
higher on first two days, declining thereafter and again increasing up to
highest level on 6th day during all three different broods in the year. On the
other hand, infected groups exhibited significant increase of lipid
concentration on all days except 1st day of July-August brood. During the month
of July to August, it was found that haemolymphs protein concentration
decreased significantly compared to control on day 3 post inoculation. The
decline in protein concentration continued till the last day (day 6). During
September-October and November-December, no significant difference was observed
in haemolymphs protein concentration between control and inoculated larva till
day 5 post inoculation. On day 6 post inoculation haemolymphs protein
concentration was found to be significantly low compared to normal control.
