A question from a scientist involved in invertebrate immunology:

Could somebody give me a definition for the so-called phenomena: leukocytosis and leukopenia?
Especially, is it correct to use these terms for respectively an increase or a decrease in total circulating leukocyte numbers?
Do these phenomena necessary imply some kind of involvement of hemopoietic organs?
Thank you
