Five species of the genus Ehrlichia have been shown to cause human infection:
* ''[[Anaplasma phagocytophilum]]'' (which causes [[human granulocytic anaplasmosis]], formerly known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis).
* ''[[Anaplasma phagocytophilum]]'' (which causes , formerly known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis).
* ''[[Ehrlichia ewingii]]'' (which causes [[human ewingii ehrlichiosis]]). ''E. ewingii'' primarily infects deer and dogs (see [[Ehrlichiosis (canine)]]).
* ''[[Ehrlichia chaffeensis]]'' (which causes [[human monocytic ehrlichiosis]]).
* ''[[Ehrlichia canis]]''
* ''[[Neorickettsia sennetsu]]''
 
The latter two infections are not well studied.
