Causes

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).
• 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.
