| Abstract: | Epithelial cells were observed in the blood films of two yellow-footed rock wallabies (Petrogale xanthopus). These cells originated from the parotid salivary gland which overlies the cranial jugular vein in macropodids. Inadvertent sampling of the parotid salivary gland may occur when performing venepuncture of the jugular vein in macropodids. |
