Research studied in Hepatozoon infestration of Mangrove snakes (Boiga dendrophila melanota) in Queen Saovabha Memorial Institue, the Thai Red Cross Society to find the efficiency of Hapatozoon anti-infestration drug. The research used 30 Mangrove snakes. After collected blood and counted Hepatozoon from blood smear. There are 15 Mangrove snakes were infestrated. Mangrove snakes were classified in 3 groups, five snakes in each group: control group, Ivermectin group and Enrofloxacin group. The studied hematological values were hematocrit (percent), plasma protein (g/dl), hemoglobin (g/dl), red blood cell count (*10**(5)/cubic mm)), total white blood count (*10**(3)/cubic mm), differential white blood count: azorophil (percent), heterophil (percent), lymphocyte (percent), eosinophil (percent), basophil (percent) and thrombocyte. Blood smears were graded Hepatozoon infestration of Mangrove snakes in 4 levels: +1 to +4 that show in tables and line charts. The study showed Enrofloxacin can control or decrease Hepatozoon infestration than Ivermectin. This is a primary study to find the efficiency of Hepatozoon anti-infestration drug in Mangrove snakes that can lead the way to find another drug for treatment Hepatozoon in Mangrove snakes and other snakes in the future.
