| Eperythrozoon coccoides | A species present in mice, but usually requiring splenectomy to reveal infections; rats and hamsters may be artificially infected; bloodsucking arthropods, especially lice, have been implicated as biological vectors, and mechanical transmission by bloodsucking flies has been demonstrated; the pathogenic effect is slight except when combined with other disease-producing agents.
