Antheraea mylitta.D. is a wild sericigenous and polyphagous insect which feeds on Terminalia arjuna and Terminalia tomentosa. It has an exclusive race in this region known as Andhra local. Due to certain weaknesses in acclimatization at different stages, this ecorace is showing signs of extinction. Present communication is based on indoor rearing of Andhra local and studies on morphological and...

The effect of aqueous extract of bark of Terminalia arjuna on some hematlogical and immunological parameters in rats during a seven-day administration of the doses of 250mg/kg and 500 mg/kg body weight orally was investigated. The results showed significant increase in total leucocyte count, monocytes, eosinophil, monocytes, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and ...
