Fig. 1

Simplified schematic presentation of the generalized linear model results of WBC ratios of 307 South American camelids (275 alpacas and 32 llamas) that were presented to a veterinary teaching hospital. Since some parameters are based on more than one single p-value, the presentation has been schematized and symbols have been used for better readability. The detailed statistical results can be found in Supplementary Table S2. NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, BLR: band neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, BNLR: band neutrophil-to-neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, BNR: band neutrophil-to-neutrophil ratio, LMR: lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, A: alpaca, L: llama, m: male, f: female, n.i.: not included in the model, n.s.: not significant (p ≥ 0.05), s.d.: significant difference (p < 0.05), +: the WBC ratio increases with increasing independent variable, -: the WBC ratio decreases with increasing independent variable. Brackets indicate a statistical trend (0.1 > p > 0.05). The number of animals included in the LMR was only n = 282, as no LMR could be determined in the animals in which no monocytes were differentiated in the blood smear.
