Hematology and biochemistry reference intervals for American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) in South Florida, USA
April 21, 2022
We calculated reference intervals for 48 blood parameters from 120 wild American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) in South Florida, US. Although previously reported by others, this study includes additional parameters not yet reported in wild populations. Most previously reported blood parameter values were similar to ours and fell within our reference intervals.
