Nomenclatural History
The species Tropheryma whipplei was originally described and validly published by La Scola et al. 2001. This name was affected by Judicial Opinion 81 in 2008. Nouioui et al. published an emended description of this species in 2018.

Although Tindall previously stated in Opinion 81 that this name was Not Validly Published, Tindall 2019 asserts that this name contravenes Rule 30 of the ICNP because no nomenclatural type has been deposited in conformity with Rule 30. Currently, the only available deposit is considered to be a patent deposit. This name is considered to therefore be illegitimate until a publicly available deposit is confirmed.
