The use of leukocyte profiles to measure stress in vertebrates: a review for ecologists (2008, background): “In addition to causing relative neutrophilia and lymphopenia, infections commonly cause general increases in monocytes, which also phagocytize foreign particles and infections (e.g. Jain 1986; Campbell 1996; Davis et al. 2004), and general increases in total WBC count (Jain 1986; Latimer et al.”
Effect of handling time and repeated sampling on avian white blood cell counts (2005, methodology): “Further, to determine if the act of repeatedly bleeding the birds could influence their leukocyte numbers, I also examined smears made from a second set of 10 House Finches that were held for 1 h before blood sampling.”
