Avian and reptilian hematology and cytology of inflammation

Duration

4 hours

Venue

Practical Hall, Department of pathophysiology

Speakers

Helene Pendl (Pendl Lab, Switzerland), DVM

Short description

Participants will gain theoretical and practical knowledge in:

• differentiation of blood cells of birds and reptiles
• determination of basic hematological parameters with special emphasis on the differential blood count of birds and reptiles
• recognition of quantitative and morphological changes of erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets during various pathological processes in birds and reptiles
• identifying cells that are present in the blood and tissues of birds and reptiles during inflammatory processes
• interpretations of the complete blood count of birds and reptiles
• participants will work on preprepared samples of true cases of infectious and non infectious diseases from daily practice. Most of the samples will contain the diagnostic agent (i.e. viral inclusion bodies, bacteria, amyloid etc….)
