Detection of Two Different Morphotypes of Mitochondria in the Live Hemocytes of the Sand Lobster (Thenus orientalis)
Abstract: AbstractIn this in vitro study, presence of mitochondria in live blood cells or hemocytes in monolayer of the sand lobster, Thenus orientalis has been detected using rhodamine 123 staining. In freshly made hemocyte monolayers (after 40 minutes of hemocyte monolayer preparation), many hemocytes showed mitochondria with fine, filamentous (elongated) morphology in their cytoplasm. These structures were highly dynamic and were actively moving around in these cells. However, in aged hemocyte …

Changes of Super Oxide Dismutase Activity in Hemolymph, Hemocytes and Fat Body of Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Challenged by Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli
Abstract: The hemolymph, hemocytes and fat body of the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. were determined for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity following bacteria Micrococcus luteus and Escherichia coli challenged using a photochemical assay system consisting of methionine, riboflavin, and p-nitro blue tetrazolium. The in vitro reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium by superoxide to formazan was measured spectrophotometrically in Bombyx Mori. Hemolymph, hemocytes and fat body were in response to various immune elicitors. …

First record of isolation of hemolymph and identification of hemocytes in a Cyclopoid Copepod
Abstract: Based on the literature review done it has been noted that it is the first report of observation and identification of hemocytes from Cyclopoid Copepod. The hemolymph sample was taken by a preliminary standard method and hemocytes were isolated and identified under light microcopy using eosin stain. The hemocytes observed were clarified based on the presence or absence and relative size of cytoplasmic granules. Three types of hemocytes were observed …

Defensive Mechanisms and Key Strategies with Its Specified Role in Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.)
Abstract: Silkworms (Bombyx mori L.) possess a variety of defense mechanisms that play a vital role in protecting them against microbial infections and environmental stressors. These defense systems are primarily innate, relying on cellular and humoral responses. Cellular defenses include hemocytes which are responsible for processes like phagocytosis, encapsulation, and nodule formation. Humoral responses involve the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMP’s), such as cecropins, moricins, and lysozymes, which target invading pathogens. …

Impact of Profenofos on Oxygen Consumption and Gill Histopathology of the Fresh Water Crab, Paratelphusa jacquemontii (Rathbun)
Abstract: In fresh water crab, gills are crucial for respiration, excretion, acid-base balance, and osmotic and ionic regulation. Profenofos, a well-known organophosphate pesticide has been in agricultural use over the last two decades for controlling pests of paddy, cotton and tobacco. In the present study, an attempt has been made to study the effect of profenofos on oxygen consumption and gill histopathology of the freshwater crab, Paratelphusa jacquemontii (Rathbun). The crabs …
