BACKGROUND
Hematologic and blood biochemical values are key tools for assessing primate health. A long-term behavioral study of howler monkeys at a single site (La Pacífica, Guanacaste, Costa Rica), afforded the opportunity to develop baseline values for a large group of animals, evaluating differences between adult males and females and comparing to a report in the same population two decades later.
METHODS
In 1998, 64 free-ranging mantled howler monkeys were anesthetized and sampled for hematologic and biochemical analysis.
RESULTS
Blood analysis is reported for 29 adult females, 9 juvenile females, 19 adult males and 3 juvenile males. Four adults were excluded due to external injury or disease. There were few significant differences between adult females, juvenile females, and adult males.
CONCLUSIONS
Baseline blood parameters are useful for determining normal values for howler monkey populations. The values for total protein, blood urea nitrogen, glucose, liver enzymes and potassium differed from a later study in 2019 may indicate changes that are influencing howler monkey health.
背景
血液学和血液生化值是评估灵长类动物健康的重要工具。对一个单一地点（哥斯达黎加瓜纳卡斯特的拉帕西菲卡）的吼猴进行的一项长期行为研究，为一大群动物提供了制定基线值的机会，评估了成年雄性和雌性之间的差异，并与 20 年后同一人群的报告进行了比较。
方法
1998 年，64 只自由放养的帽带吼猴被麻醉并进行血液学和生化学分析。
结果
报告了 29 只成年雌性、9 只幼年雌性、19 只成年雄性和 3 只幼年雄性的血液分析结果。由于外部损伤或疾病，有 4 只成年个体被排除在外。成年雌性、幼年雌性和成年雄性之间几乎没有显著差异。
结论
基础血液参数可用于确定吼猴种群的正常值。总蛋白、血尿素氮、葡萄糖、肝功能酶和钾的数值与 2019 年的一项后续研究不同，这可能表明正在影响吼猴健康的变化。
