Emendation
Emendation 1
Emendation 2
1: It is proposed that the genus Rochalimaea and the family Bartonellaceae, containing the genera Bartonella and Grahamella, should be removed from the order Rickettsiales. This requires emending the description of the Rickettsiales to exclude motile organisms and organisms that multiply on bacteriologic media. It also reduces the number of families to two, the Rickettsiaceae and the Anaplasmataceae.
2: It is proposed that the tribes Rickettsieae, Ehrlichieae and Wolbachieae should be abolished. Furthermore, all species formerly within the tribes Ehrlichieae and Wolbachieae are transferred into the family Anaplasmataceae.
