title: Comparative study on the effects of five benzoylphenylurea insecticides on haematological parameters in rats.
abstract: 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.
