ABSTRACT
Bandoy DD, Haemoproteus
sp. in Philippine Scops Owl (Otus
megalotis) and Philippine Eagle Owl (Bubo philippensis), Onl J Vet Res, 13
(1):117-120, 2009. 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
lymphocytes in 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. MAIN
