ABSTRACT

 

Bandoy DD, Hemoproteus spp. Effect of Hemoproteus spp on hematology in  Owls, Onl J Vet Res, 29 (12): 764-769, 2025. The hematological values of Philippine Scops Owl (Otus megalotis) and Philippine Eagle Owl (Bubo philippensis) infected with Haemoproteus sp. were determined. There was a significant increase in the heterophils and decrease in the lymphocytes of the Otus megalotis infected with Haemoproteus sp . The increase in heterophils and decrease in lymphocyte, typical for avian species under stress, suggests a possibility of owls in immunocompromised conditions being more likely to be infected with Haemoproteus sp.

 

Keywords: owls, Haemoproteus sp., hematological values, Bubo philippensis, Otus megalotis.
