The lesser mouse-deer, Tragulus javanicus, is the smallest living ungulate and it possesses the smallest erythrocytes amongst mammalian species. We observed pits on its erythrocytes by scanning electron microscopy. They were 68-390 nm in diameter (135 +/- 65 nm) and appeared in 12.8% of erythrocytes examined. They represent unique structures that have not previously been reported physiologically or pathologically.
小鼷鹿（Tragulus javanicus）是现存最小的有蹄类动物，并且在哺乳动物物种中拥有最小的红细胞。我们通过扫描电子显微镜观察到其红细胞上有凹坑。它们的直径为68 - 390纳米（135±65纳米），在所检查的红细胞中占12.8%。它们代表了以前在生理或病理方面均未被报道过的独特结构。
