Phylogenetic analysis of nearly complete 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences for the newly described hemoplasma species (shown in boldface) and other available hemoplasma species. The tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method. Evolutionary distances are to the scales shown. The data set was resampled 1000 times to generate bootstrap percentage values, and values of >50% are given at the nodes of the tree. The phylogenetic tree was rooted to Clostridium innocuum (GenBank no. M23732). GenBank accession numbers are shown for all sequences. aThe bovine hemoplasma “Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobovis” 16S rRNA gene sequence (GenBank no. EF424082) shares 99.3% identity with the 1204 base pairs of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the buffalo hemoplasma “Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos” (GenBank no. EU367965).
