The effect of Bacillus thuringiensis on the survival of Lucilia cuprina were observed. LD50 was found to be 14x106 cells/ml. The treatment resulted in vacuolization of plasma and destruction of haemocytes. Morphological studies of treated flies revealed that bacterial attach caused no apparent decrease in the size of haemocytes as compared to control ones. Differential haemocytes counting (DHC) of the treated flies showed a significant quantitative differences in the haemocyte number as compared to the control flies.
