Trypan Blue dye exclusion method is used for the assessment of cell viability. In all treatments the tissue shows differential staining pattern as compared to control. In Sarcophaga ruficornis larvae the gut tissues viz. gastric caeca, midgut, hindgut and malpighian tubules are more susceptible regions to stress as compared to non gut tissues i.e. brain ganglia and salivary gland.
