Threatened Neotropical Primates Harbor Genetically Diverse Hemoplasmas, Including Putative Novel Genotypes and Previously Unrecognized Host Associations
Hemoplasmas are hemotropic mycoplasmas that infect erythrocytes and may cause hemolytic anemia in mammalian hosts. However, information on their occurrence and genetic diversity in threatened Neotropical primates remains scarce. This study investigated the molecular occurrence of hemoplasmas in captive-born and free-ra...
