Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify the hemocytes types of American cockroach, Periplaneta americana in Assam. Four major types of hemocytes found were Prohemocytes, Plasmatocytes, Granulocytes and Spherulocytes. The size of hamocyte cell types were carried out using Optical adapter (Narshi). Of these hemocytes, the largest size (29.60 ± 0.49 × 9.32 ± 0.30 μm) was recorded in Plasmatocytes.
