Abstract
- 4 Pág. Centro de Investigación en Sanidad Animal (CISA)<br />Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. (hemoplasmas) are uncultivable bacteria that infect mammals, including humans. We detected a potentially novel hemoplasma species in blood samples from wild river dolphins in the Amazon River Basin, Brazil. Further investigation could determine pathogenicity and zoonotic potential of the detected hemoplasma.<br />This study was funded by Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (scholarship no. 141868/2019-8 and fellowship no. 304999-18), Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (scholarship no. 2016/20956-0 and grant no. 2018/25069-7), and by the Juan de la Cierva incorporación and formación fellowship nos. IJC2020-046019-I and FJC2020-046311-1, the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and the Small Grant in Aid of Research from the Society for Marine Mammalogy.
