Packed cell volumes (PCVs) and blood smears made from the anticoagulant-treated blood samples were compared across time and with a control. Sodium polyanetholesulfonate kept the hybrid striped bass blood anticoagulated during the 24-h test period, but PCVs and smear quality were significantly different from the other treatments. Sodium polyanetholesulfonate does not appear to perform better than EDTA or heparin as an anticoagulatant for hybrid striped bass blood for hematology analysis.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Aquatic Animal Health}, author={Tocidlowski, M.

Sera from 103 live trapped river otters were tested for antibodies to T. gondii using a commercially available latex agglutination kit. Forty-six (45%) of the sera were positive with titers ranging from 1:16 to >1:2,048. Adult otters (n = 78) had a seroprevalence of 47% and juvenile otters (n = 25) had a seroprevalence of 39%. Significant differences were not found between the sexes within either maturity class. The high prevalence of antibodies to T. gondii indicates that many animals in this population were exposed to the organism.
