p>The Genotoxic effect of the carbafuran pesticide was evaluated in the metaphasic chromosomes of bone marrow cells of female Swiss albino mice, Mus musculus . Six week old mice were put into different groups(six mice per group) and treatment were done according to experimental plan (CLD<sub>15 </sub>i.e. lower dose =30ppm or 0.03mg/ml and CHD<sub>...

... was observed that exposer of carbafuran on mammalian model Swiss albino mice (balb/c) strain produces chromosomal anomalies. The oral doses for 15days provided for the test group CLD15 and 30days of test group CHD30 days. The cytological slides were prepared from the bone marrow cells of sacrificed mice treated with 4% giemsa stain (Prestone et al., 1987). The results of cytological slides revealed that different chromosomal abnormalities, such as Chromosomal association, chromatid break, clumped, pulverised and stickness in both test groups with different degree of alteration, it was observed that in CHD30 the test group chromosomal stickness were more prominent than CLD15 test group similarly, chromosomal association were shown to be of similar occurrence in CLD15 test group and CHD30 test groups, clumping in CDH shown to be more prominent than CLD, chromatid break found in CDH30 separately ( Fig. 1 and 2). Pulverisation is as similar as CLD15 and CHD30. The alteration in mitotic chromosomes after the carbafuran treatment is similar with the work of (Ila et al., 2008;Tyrkiel et al., ...
