Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity Evaluation of Some Stored Grain Insects and Their Infested Flour Using the BHK-21 Cell Line in an <i>In Vitro</i> Experimental Model

<div>Apoptosis of baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21 cell line) under the fluorescent microscope after exposure to insect-infested flour. (1) Cells treated with uninfested flour (control), (2) cells treated with <i>T. granarium</i>-infested flour, (3) cells treated with <i>S. oryzae</i>-infested flour, (4) cells treated with <i>R. dominica</i>-infested flour, and (5) cells treated with <i>T. castaneum</i>-infested flour.</div>
