MORPHOLOGIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PERIPHERAL BLOOD CELLS OF MOOSE IN SWEDEN
In order to interpret the morphologic changes of blood cells in diseased moose (Alces alces) with any validity, it is first necessary to obtain sufficient reference material to establish normal morphology. Blood was collected from 74 apparently healthy chemically immobilized moose in northern Sweden...
