Abstract

Krvna slika zmija koristi se kao metoda procjene zdravstvenog stanja jedinke, praćenja
progresije bolesnih stanja, određivanja terapije te praćenja učinkovitosti terapije. S obzirom na
oskudne podatke o hematologiji zmija, u ovom radu prikazane su specifičnosti krvne slike
zmija s posebnim osvrtom na zmiju vrste Crna štakorašica (Pantherophis obsoletus). Eritrociti
zmija za razliku od sisavaca sadrže jezgru te imaju značajno dulji životni vijek. Trombociti
zmija isto tako sadrže jezgru za razliku od onih u sisavaca. Monociti i limfociti zmija imaju
sličnu ulogu kao kod sisavaca, heterofili su ekvivalent neutrofilima sisavaca, a azurofili su
jedinstveni samo za zmije.

Abstract (english)

Blood count in snakes is used as a method of assessing their health status, monitoring
progression of diseases, determining therapy and monitoring therapy success. Because of
scarcity of literature, the aim of this paper was to show specificities of hemogram in snakes
with an emphasis on species Black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus). Snake erythrocytes,
unlike those from mammals, have a nucleus and their life span is much longer. Snake
thrombocytes also have a nucleus unlike thrombocytes from mammals. Monocytes and
lymphocytes of snakes have similar roles as those in mammals, heterophils are the equivalent
to mammal neutrophiles and azurophiles are unique only for snakes.
