This study evaluated the effects of chronic exposure to azadirachtin on the morphology and ultrastructure of <jats:italic>S. eridania<\/jats:italic> larval testes as well as larval development.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Azadirachtin exposure (6 or 18\u2009mg\u2009a.i.\u00a0L<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) caused a progressive increase in cumulative mortality and reduced gain in body mass after 5\u2009days. Testicular structure indicated a reduction in their size with internal morphological changes such as spermatogonia, spermatogonial, spermatocytes and spermatid cysts in degeneration. The occurrence of cell death in germ and somatic cells was evidenced by the TUNEL technique. Electron microscopy revealed changes in cystic cells, such as cytoplasmic membrane rupture and cytoplasmic vacuolization. Chromatin compaction, changes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex cisternae were observed in germ cells.
