ABSTRACT

 

Karamiani R, Parto P, Rastegar-Pouyani N, Khazaii N., Erythrocytes in male and female leopard gecko, Eublepharis angramainyu (Sauria: Eublepharidae), Onl J Vet Res.,  18(12): 929-935, 2014. We report variation in the size of erythrocytes and their nuclei in males and females of the leopard gecko, Eublepharis angramainyu, using blood smears stained with Giemsa. Erythrocytes were more elongated and bulky in males with a broader nucleus, whereas in females, the erythrocytes were smaller with a relatively elongated nucleus. The nucleus in both sexes was centrally located with a crenated membrane.

 

Key words: Reptilia, Eublepharis angramainyu, erythrocyte size, male, female.
