Distances (and Standard Error) among parasites infecting Amazon Lava Lizards (Tropidurus torquatus) from our study are shown in bold. Genetic divergence was estimated in MEGA 7.0.18 using mitochondrial genome sequence alignment (5420 bp without gaps). Standard Error estimate(s) are shown above the diagonal. Sample GenBank accession numbers are: Sample ID 29: MW491387, sample ID 141: MW491388, sample ID 37: MW491389, and sample ID 123: MW491390.
