FIGURE 3.

Haematological profile of peste des petits ruminants virus–infected Black Bengal goats showed marked anaemia and leucocytosis. Blood samples were collected from healthy and peste des petits ruminants–affected goats and the amount of (a) peste des petits ruminants virus–specific antibody, (b) haemoglobin, (c) packed cell volume, (d) erythrocyte sedimentation rate, (e) total erythrocyte counts, (f) leucocyte count and (g) differential leucocyte count were quantified. Data indicate mean ± SEM from 5 healthy and 13 peste des petits ruminants virus–infected goats. One-tailed Mann–Whitney test. p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
