title: [Dynamics of changes in the composition of leukocyte population of peripheral blood during the African swine fever].
abstract: The comparison of the composition of leukocytes of peripheral blood of healthy and Infected swine revealed the quantitative alterations, as well as the appearance of new cells in leukocyte population during African swine fever. It was determined that African swine fever virus induced mass-scale mortality of cells of peripheral blood, especially lymphocytes and neutrophiles. The number of the dead cells reaches 60% of the initial number of all cells at the end of infection. It was also revealed that the appearance of atypical lymphocytes and lymphoblasts was observed during viral Infections. Most of these cells are characterized by the presence of additional nucleus.
