Emendation
Emendation 1
1: It is proposed that the family Anaplasmataceae be emended to include species in the genera Wolbachia, Ehrlichia, Cowdria and Neorickettsia and to retain species in the genera Anaplasma and Aegyptianella. This requires emendation of the description of the Anaplasmataceae to specify infection within a cytoplasmic vacuole of host cells that include erythrocytes, reticuloendothelial cells, bone marrow-derived phagocytic cells, endothelial cells and cells of insect, helminth and arthropod reproductive tissues. Aegyptianella is retained as genus incertae sedis.
