Landscape and age dynamics of immune cells in the Egyptian rousette bat
2022, Cell ReportsCitation Excerpt :Previous reports described contradictory findings with significantly higher leukocyte counts in captive ERBs. However, animals reported as captive in the study were wild-caught and housed for several weeks, which most likely resulted in leukocytosis due to stress (Van Der Westhuyzen, 1988). Of note, especially for adult ERBs included in this study, a great variance in frequencies of circulating granulocytes was obvious, indicating that environmental factors related to breeding and maintenance, e.g., sampling-related stress, could greatly alter the frequency of circulating granulocytes, as reported for humans and mice (Ince et al., 2018; Keresztes et al., 2007).
The Pathology of Comparative Animal Models of Human Haemochromatosis
2012, Journal of Comparative PathologyCitation Excerpt :Pteropodid fruit bats have been reported to acquire hepatic iron overload when kept in captivity (Crawshaw et al., 1995; Farina et al., 2005). In a haematological study, captive and wild fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) were compared and lower plasma iron concentrations were found in wild subjects (Van Der Westhuyzen, 1988). This suggests, similar to tapirs, an influence of inadequate diet in captivity.
