ntST network analyses of hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. (hemoplasmas) from aquatic mammals, Amazon Basin, Brazil. We noted hemoplasmas divergence between 2 dolphin species (A) and sampling sites (B). The analysis differentiated the retrieved hemoplasmas nucleotide sequence types in 3 distinct groups: 1 group comprised all sequences obtained from Amazon river dolphins (Inia geoffrensis) from the Balbina Dam and Tapajós River; the other 2 harbored all sequences from Bolivian river dolphins (I. boliviensis) from the Guaporé River. ntST, nucleotide sequence type.
