Bufo, common toad, hematology, blood countAbstract
The hematology of the class Amphibia is insufficiently researched in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is almost no data about the hematology of the lower taxa of this class, especially non-specific and "uninteresting" species such as Bufo bufo (common toad), which is not endangered or particularly attractive to scientists and the general public. The paper presents the morphology of blood cells as well as the differential blood count of two populations of the common toad from the area of the Tuzla Canton. All types of blood cells were determined, and the differential blood count showed that there are certain differences in the representation of certain forms of leukocytes in the observed populations, and the presence of certain parasites in the blood of the investigated species. This paper emphasizes the importance of having a comprehensive, accessible register of data on the biology of all species that surround us, including Bufo bufo, and provides an overview of the available information on the biology and specific hematology of the mentioned species.
