The present study was carried out to assess the toxicological effect of acetamiprid, an insecticide of neonicotinoid group on clinical and serum hematobiochemical parameters of mice. The experimental animals were divided into four different groups of equal number of animals and the first group was considered as Control. It was found that acetamiprid administered @ 40 mg/kg body weight per day (1/5th of LD% value) for a period of 28 days induces prominent toxic symptoms along with hematological and biochemical effect in mice. Acetamiprid induced mice showed decrease in body weight and clinical symptoms like respiratory depression, sitting in the corner, diarrhea, depression, dullness etc. are observed at the different dose levels. Test mice administered with acetamiprid showed significant decrease in overall hematological profile. In the present study, it was found that acetamiprid @ 1.. View More»
