## Abstract A variety of __in vivo__ mammalian test models are available for screening of chemicals for mutagenicity at the chromosomal level. These models have been grouped into those focusing on somatic cell effects and those dealing with germ cell effects. An analysis of available literature ind
Earlier we reported that both actively replicating (A2 and B) and live but nonreplicating (C) strains of influenza virus induced significant percentages of chromosome aberrations in the spermatogonia of the infected mice, suggesting that virus replication was not essential for the induction of chrom
Swiss albino male mice were administered two doses (1 and 2 HA units) of influenza A2 Hong Kong/68 virus IP. The incidence of chromosomal anomalies in spermatocytes was analysed at various times post infection and was found to be significantly higher than in controls, indicating that the influenza v
Evidence is presented to demonstrate that replicating (A2 and B) and nonreplicating (C) strains of influenza virus were capable of inducing higher percentages of chromosomes anomalies in spermatocytes of mice inoculated either IP or IN than were seen in controls.
The genotoxicity of rifampicin was tested for sister chromatic exchange in bone marrow cells and for structural chromosomal aberrations in mouse germ cells. Sister chromatid exchange frequency increased after 160, 240 and 310 mg kg-' body wt. doses but not after 80 mg kg-'. In spermatocytes, 80 mg
