Abstract.
The possibility of intermodulation of eosinophil circadian rhythm by circannual changes in an ophid was examined. Six groups of healthy
male ophids, lour each, were standardized in LD 12:12 photoperiod and ·constant temperature. Every month blood samples were·taken·from individual animals through
cardiac puncture at 4-h intervals over a single transverse time scale and circadian cycles in circulating number of eosinophils constructed. Circannual modulation of circadian mesor and amplitude was demonstrated.
