Causes
Five species of the genus Ehrlichia have been shown to cause human infection:[1]
- Anaplasma phagocytophilum (which causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis, formerly known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis).
- Ehrlichia ewingii (which causes human ewingii ehrlichiosis). E. ewingii primarily infects deer and dogs (see Ehrlichiosis (canine)).[2]
- Ehrlichia chaffeensis (which causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis).
- Ehrlichia canis
- Neorickettsia sennetsu
The latter two infections are not well studied.
