Abstract
Cricket (Gyilus bimacutus) is mass-bred in 6 time cycles per one year in insect farms. They are used as dry or live foods for animals, tropical fish, reptile and amphibians. Therefore, it is necessary to study the genotoxicity of whole bodies of G. bimaculatus. The aim of this present study was to evaluate the genotoxicity of the G bimaculatus extract with three methods, Ames test, chromosome aberration test in Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro and micronucleus (MN) test in vivo which involve the different test systems (bacteria, mammalian cells and mice nuclei).
