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>Comet assay images of baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21 cell line) after exposure to stored grains insects. (1) Normal cells (control), (2) <i>T. granarium</i>-treated cells, (3) <i>S. oryzae</i>-treated cells, (4) <i>R. dominica</i>-treated cells, and (5) <i>T. castaneum</i>-treated cells. The green arrow represents intact nuclei, the white arrow represents the high degree of damage, and the blue arrow represents the low degree of damage.</div>
