Seasonal effects on the hematology and blood plasma proteins of two species of mice <em>Mus musculus domesticus</em> and <em>M. spretus</em> (Rodentia: Muridae) from Portugal
<strong>Abstract</strong> Blood samples were taken from <em>Mus musculus domesticus</em> (Rutty, 1772) and <em>M. spretus</em> (Lataste, 1883), live-trapped at one month intervals, from September 88 to July 89, in t...
