Larvae were reared on an artificial diet medium contaminated with three different concentrations (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) of Cd and Pb. In the control group the insects fed a heavy metal free diet. All of the insects were kept at 25 ± 2 °C temperature, 60 ± 5% relative humidity and 16L:8D photoperiod conditions.The obtained data showed that the total hemocyte count of larvae exposed to Cd resulted in a significant decrease at all concentrations, whereas total hemocyte count of Pb-treated groups decreased only at the highest concentrations of Pb. </span> <br /> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Gumushane University}
