Ehrlichia muris Wen et al. 1995 emend. Hördt et al. 2020
Nomenclatural History
The species Ehrlichia muris was originally described and validly published by Wen et al. 1995. Dumler et al. published an emended description of this species in 2001. A subsequent emendation was proposed by Hördt et al. in 2020. In 2017, Pritt et al. reduced this species to the rank of subspecies to form (Wen et al. 1995) Pritt et al. 2017 .
