Abstract

The total haemocyte counts (THCs) and differential plasmatocyte counts decreased significantly in the adultoids emerging from juvenile hormone (JH) - treated 6th instar nymphs of Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae)) The prohaemocyte counts increased ssgnificantly. Granulocyte and oenocytoid counts remained unchanged.
