Histopathological effect of thiourea on the ovarian tissues of Sarcophaga ruficornis (Fabr.).
The primary target of thiourea in female Sarcophaga are the follicles in the ovarioles. The follicle cells as a result become syncytial and their nuclei get pycnotic, inhibiting the transport of nutrient material into the nurse cells and of yolk into the oocytes. The subnormal eggs produced are not viable.
