Description:

The blood parameters of 104 northern birch mice, Sicista betulina (Pallas, 1778) caught in two localities in NE Poland were examined. The values of the hematological parameters are clearly dependent on the hibernator's state of activity. During the period of winter hibernation an increase takes place in the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value, while the number of leukocytes and neutrophils as well as the number and percentage of eosinophils decreases.
