title: A comparative study of the efficiency of acridine orange and some Romanowsky staining procedures in the demonstration of Haemobartonella felis in feline blood.
abstract: A comparison of the relative efficiency of acridine orange with some Romanowsky staining procedures indicated that acridine orange is superior in demonstrating the presence of Haemobartonella felis in feline blood. Of the Romanowsky staining procedures, that of May-Grunwald-Giemsa was at least one and a half and about twice as efficient as the Giemsa and Leishman methods, respectively.
