Abstract

The family Anaplasmataceae is in the order Rickettsiales that includes the four genera Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Neorickettsia, and Wolbachia, all of which are small Gram-negative pleomorphic cocci and obligatory intracellular bacteria. The Rickettsiales are most often cited as the alphaproteobacterial subgroup from which mitochondria arose.
