| Oct 18, 2017 at 1:45 | comment | added | arboviral | Nice answer! It's not relevant to the question, but in case anyone's interested I thought I'd point out that camelids also have weird antibodies (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy-chain_antibody). | |

| Oct 17, 2017 at 18:56 | comment | added | Helle P. | Thank you so much for the fast answers! I really appreciate that. I was hoping through my question, that I could get a hold on better pictures of the ovale shaped blood cells, than the ones Google have. I'm sorry that I didn't make that clear in the above question. I like the aesthetics of the "pink" ones, do you know where I can find something like those, but in a higher resolution? I may be asking for too much, sorry about that (-: | |
| Oct 17, 2017 at 7:42 | comment | added | user24284 | @canadianer you're welcome! For bacteria, you can italicise family and below: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/page/scientific-nomenclature. However, I don't follow that system. To avoid confusion, I used to say to the students: "never italicise family, order, class, phylum, kingdom or domain, and always italicise genus and species". Also, I'm old school: both the ranks and the taxa should be capitalised. That's why I like to write Family Hominidae, not family hominidae. | |

| Oct 17, 2017 at 7:33 | comment | added | user24284 | @canadianer thanks for editing my broken English, I really appreciate that. I just changed the family (Camelidae) back to normal font, we cannot italicise taxa other than species and genus. | |

| Oct 17, 2017 at 0:19 | comment | added | Remi.b | Ah it all makes sense. We actually already had a post on Biology.SE about the question of whether camels have nucleated RBC. I edited your answer to add it. | |

| Oct 17, 2017 at 0:10 | comment | added | user24284 | I believe hemoglobin is the same, 2*alpha + 2*beta. I'll check this anyway. The elliptical shape doesn't reduce the water loss, but makes the cells better suited for a "thicker" blood (when the blood as a whole looses water). | |

Wow I did not expect that! +1 Do you know why an ovale shape reduces water loss? They all "swim" in plasma anyway, it is unintuitive to me that the shape would matter at all. Do you know if the hemoglobin is the same? Would be great to come up with a reference for the claim that camels [..] have anucleate erythrocytes so that we know who to believe.
