Abstract

The present study was conducted to track changes in the rate of oxygen consumption freshwater leech Hirudo birmanica exposed to sublethal concentration of malathion (0.98 ppm at 96 h) and monocrotophos (1.2 ppm at 96 h). The gradual depletion was observed in oxygen consumption rate after initial couple of hours.
