  1. The proportion of each hemocyte population, size, and internal complexity were determined on SYBR Green I-positive cells. Size and internal complexity of hemocytes are expressed in flow cytometric arbitrary units (A.U.). Gr granulocytes, Hy hyalinocytes, BL blast-like cells. Values are reported as the mean ± SD. All differences were nonsignificant (ANOVA)
