| English abstract | The hematological values for the specie Bothrops leucurus, recently captured from nature, were determined from blood samples of 29 snakes (11 males and 18 females). The performed hematological tests were: total red blood cell count (TRBCC), total white blood cell count (TWBCC), total trombocyte blood cell count (TTBCC); packed cell volume (PCV); hemoglobin content; and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The mean values for TRBCC was 4.23cellsx10(5)/mm³, for TWRCC was 8.92cellsx10³/mm³ and for TTBCC was 8.60cellsx10³/mm³. The mean for packed cell volume was 22.3%. The intraerythrocytic hemoparasite Hepatozoon sp was found on 58.6% of the studied animals |
