Abstract: Pesq. Vet. Bras. 34(8) Decreasing of harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) populations in natural environments, mainly in non-preserved areas, makes captive population management an important contribution to genetic diversity conservation. The aim of this study is to evaluate hematological parameters for captive harpy eagles maintained at the wild animals breeding center of Itaipu Binacional, Paraná State, Brazil. Fourteen blood samples from nine harpy eagles were collected from animals of both sexes, of different ages… Show more

“…Blood cells of RWBs include erythrocytes (RBCs), leukocytes (WBCs), and thrombocytes. WBCs can be divided into heterophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes that were similar to other raptors [ 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 24 , 25 ]. Heterophils were the most prevalent WBCs in RWBs, whereas lymphocytes were the second most prevalent WBCs ( Table 2 ).…”

“…Therefore, reports of blood cell characteristics in each avian species are important, and this will provide scientific evidence for laboratory work and further research. To the best of our knowledge, there are some descriptions of blood cell characteristics in raptorial birds [ 1 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ] but there are no reports of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of blood cells in RWBs.…”

“…Additional diagnostic tests were performed, including a complete blood count (CBC) and plasma biochemical profile (total proteins, calcium, phosphorus, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and uric acid); survey radiographs; tracheal, esophageal and cloacal cultures (fungal) and fecal exam. Hematological parameters considered normal for harpy eagles were inferred from other raptors [14].…”

“…In addition, changes were observed in hematological parameters between birds of prey of different sex, where the relative numbers of basophils were higher in males. Oliveira et al (2014 ), comparing males and females of Harpia harpyja , found some variation in the values of relative number of basophils, with values increased in females. According to Campbell (1994 ) the function of basophils in poultry is not fully elucidated.…”
