Clinical Hematological Values, Erythrocytic Indices and Osmograms of Cercocebus Torquatus Atys and Papio Anubis

Abstract

Study of the clinical hemograms of 73 sooty mangabeys and 18 baboons was carried out. The baboon erythrocyte was slightly larger and had more hemoglobin/cell. The hematocrit and MCHC were nearly identical. The WBC counts of the mangabeys were 3,000 cells/cu mm greater than the baboons. The ratio of lymphocytes to neutrophils was 3 to 1 for the mangabeys and 2.5 to 1 for the baboons. The mangabey erythrocyte was more susceptible to osmotic lysis than the baboon and the male erythrocyte of both species was more fragile than the female.
