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.
