Comparative study on the effects of five benzoylphenylurea insecticides on haematological parameters in rats.
Five benzoylphenylurea insecticides were administered to male Wistar rats for 28 days at oral doses of 100 mg kg-1 each. Elevation of methaemoglobin was found only in the diflubenzuron- and triflumuron treated groups. The number of reticulocytes was increased in all of the treated groups.
