Transcriptomic detection of Candidatus Allocryptoplasma (Anaplasmataceae) in Galápagos marine iguanas (Amblyrhynchus cristatus, Iguanidae)
Candidatus Allocryptoplasma had a high prevalence within marine iguanas, infecting individuals across most of the geographical range of this species. To elucidate the transmission dynamics of this bacterium in the Galápagos ecosystem, ectoparasites of the marine iguana and shared vertebrate hosts should be screened for infection with Ca. Allocryptoplasma.
