It is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted to humans by the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum). [3] It is the causative agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis. [4] Human monocytic ehrlichiosis caused by E. chaffeensis is known to spread through tick infection primarily in the Southern, South-central and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. [5]
Vector: Lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum), I. scapularis; Region (US): South Atlantic, South-central; Bartonella: Bartonella transmission rates to humans via tick bite are not well established [34] but Bartonella is common in ticks. For example: 4.76% of 2100 ticks tested in a study in Germany [35] Tularemia
