Osmotic fragility of erythrocytes of lemurs.
Erythrocytes of five species of lemurs were found to be significantly more susceptible to lysis by osmotic stress than erythrocytes of man. In one lemur species, Lemur macaco, the red cell osmotic fragility profile resembles that of human subjects with hereditary spherocytosis.
