Hematology and Serum Biochemistry Values of Healthy Free-Ranging Panamanian White-Faced Capuchins (Cebus imitator) in Costa Rica

J Wildl Dis. 2020 Jan;56(1):229-233. Epub 2019 Jul 22.

Abstract

We describe the hematology and serum biochemistry values for 26 free-ranging Panamanian white-faced capuchins (Cebus imitator) in Costa Rica. Howell-Jolly bodies and microfilariae were observed in some animals. This baseline information is a tool for health assessment and species conservation.
