Abstract

Total Hemocyte Count in spinning silkworm, Bombyx mori L. was studied using four popular multivoltine races of India. Hemocytic concentration of larva was gradually decreased in every spinning day then again increased with pupal maturity. It was a common character for all the four races in the larva to pupa transition stage. Spherulocyte abundance and prohemocyte absence are other general features in the pre-pupal stage in these four races. It is shown that spherulocytes are derived from granulocytes.
