Effects of fenitrothion and aminocarb, at doses giving low mortality, on surviving eggs and larvae of the eucalypt-defoliating chrysomelid beetle Paropsis atomaria Ol. III. Histological changes in treated larvae
Australian Journal of Zoology 26 (1), 139-146
Abstract: The treatment of larvae of Paropsis atomaria Ol. with low doses of fenitrothion or aminocarb caused disintegration of the cell structure of the alimentary canal, reducing food digestion and absorption [see preceding abstract, etc.]. The growth of the larvae decreased progressively as the dose increased, and the fat-body was reduced. Muscle damage was also evident.
