Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a new species associated with human ehrlichiosis
Open accessAbstract
The bacterial 16S rRNA genes from blood samples of two patients with human ehrlichiosis and from an isolate recovered from one of the patients were amplified by using the polymerase chain reaction. The amplimers were then cloned and sequenced. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was also determined for Ehrlichia canis (two strains), E. equi, E. phagocytophila (two strains), and E. sennetsu (two strains). These sequences, along with a previously published 16S rRNA gene sequence of E. risticii, were compared. The 16S rRNA gene sequences were identical for all three sources of the human ehrlichiosis agent. The sequence comparisons indicate that the human ehrlichiosis agent is a new species most closely related to E. canis (98.2%) and more distantly related to other Ehrlichia spp. We propose that this species be named Ehrlichia chaffeensis sp. nov., with the Arkansas strain as the type strain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
