Effect of Sodium azide on larval tissues of a dipteran fly, Sarcophaga ruficornis (Sarcophagidae)

Abstract

The study highlights the adverse effects of Sodium azide on tissues in larvae of Sarcophaga ruficornis. In the form of the internal tissue damage Trypan blue dye exclusion assay is most commonly used to identify the tissue damage due to various chemical stresses. The intensity of tissue damage increases with an increase in the concentration of the test chemical.
