AB  - Blood was analyzed from eighty (forty males and forty females) adult individuals 
      of Polypedates teraiensis to establish reference ranges for its hematological and 
      serum biochemical parameters. The peripheral blood cells were differentiated as 
      erythrocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, basophils, and 
      thrombocytes, with similar morphology to other anurans. Morphology of blood cells 
      did not vary according to sex. The hematological investigations included 
      morphology and morphometry of erythrocytes, morphometry of leucocytes, packed 
      cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin content (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean 
      corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), 
      erythrocyte or red blood cell (RBC) count, leukocyte or white blood cell (WBC) 
      count, differential leukocyte count, and neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio. 
      Besides, protein, cholesterol, glucose, urea, uric acid, and creatinine content 
      of blood serum were assayed. Hematological parameters that differed significantly 
      between sexes were RBC count, length and breadth of RBC, neutrophil %, N/L ratio, 
      area occupied by basophils, and diameter of large lymphocyte and eosinophils. The 
      level of glucose, urea, and creatinine in blood serum also significantly differed 
      between sexes.
