La ehrlichiosis, también llamada erliquiosis o enfermedad ehrlichial, es un grupo de enfermedades que pueden estar causada por diversas bacterias de vida intracelular, pertenecientes a los géneros Ehrlichia, Anaplasma y Neorickettsia, todos ellos de la familia Anaplasmataceae. Debido a que los tres géneros se clasificaban anteriormente dentro del género Ehrlichia, las enfermedades que provocan se llaman ehrlichiosis. La mayor parte se transmiten por picadura de garrapata, en otras sin embargo la fuente de contagio son varias especies de nematodes y trematodes.
