Abstract

Two blood samples of common palm civets, both sexes were studied on the structures of blood cells and platelets by light microscope. The average diameters of red blood cells, platelets, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes and monocytes were 5.4, 2.3, 12.4, 13.3, 13.0, 10.2 and 14.2 µm., respectively. The specific granules in Wright’s Giemsa stain, those of neutrophils were fine, grayish-pink stained granules in basophils. The other staining characteristics on blood cells and platelets were similar to those observed in human and other mammals.
