Blood data is based on analysis of blood drawn the same day as samples used for analysis. Complete blood count analyses of the 32 samples used in the training set are listed. Some parameters were not measured for all individuals and are indicated by ‘n’. Hematological parameters were compared between chronic domoic acid toxicosis (DAT) and non-DAT groups using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test with normal approximation, and significance (p<0.05) is highlighted by an ‘*’. Abbreviations: WBC, white blood cell count; RBC, red blood cell count; HGB, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; PLT, platelet; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; RDW, red cell distribution width; MPV, mean platelet volume; Seg, segmented neutrophils; Band, band cells; Lymph, lymphocytes; Mono, monocytes; Eos, eosinophils.
