Effects Of Malathion (50 % Ec) On The Glycogen Content In Reproductive Tissues Of A Freshwater Leech, Hirudo Birmanica (Blanchard)

The present study was conducted to track changes in glycogen content of the reproductive tissues viz. testis, prostate gland, epididymis, vagina, albumen gland and ovary of the freshwater leech Hirudo birmanica exposed to sub lethal concentration of malathion. The glycogen in testis, prostate gland, epididymis, vagina, albumen gland and ovary tissues reduced significantly (P<0.05). The epididymis was affected more than other tissues.
