Abstract

  Haematology is useful in understanding the physiological features of lizards. The study was held to investigate the haemo profile of leschenault’s leaf toad gecko in Odisha. The haematological parameters like Haemoglobin Concentration (HB), Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Total Leucocyte Count (TLC), Total Platelet Count (TPC) and Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) were calculated using standard procedures. Statistical analysis like correlation and t­test were done. The study revealed that the TEC and percentage of lymphocytes show significant difference (p<0.05) between both sexes of lizard. The mean values of all other parameters are also showing difference between male and female of Hemidactylus leschenaultii Dumeril and Bibron 1836. The correlation coefficient varies in male and female with respect to the parameters analysed. Some parameters were positively correlated with each other and others were found to be negatively correlated. The data obtained could be a useful indicator for monitoring and managing the general health status of the species.

Keywords: Haematological Parameters; Hemidactylus Leschenaultii; Correlation; Significant Difference.
