ABSTRACT

 

Karamiani R, Rastegar-Pouyani N, Parto P, Rastegar-Pouyani E, Khazaii N., Morphology of red blood cells in Ablepharus bivittatus and Ablepharus pannonicus lidless skink lizards.  Onl J Vet Res., 20(5):307-311, 2016. Morphology of erythrocytes on blood smears stained with Giemsa in lidless skink lizzards Ablepharus (A. bivittatus and A. pannonicus) is described. Erythrocyte and nucleus sizes showed large variations between species and sex of same species. Erythrocytes were more elongated in A. bivittatus with a wide nucleus in males. In females erythrocytes were smaller with a relatively slender nucleus. Nuclei were centrally located in all smears.

 

Key words. Reptilia, Scincidae, Ablepharus, Male, Female, Erythrocyte size.
