Name	Kind

Haemobartonella felis (ex Clark 1942) Kreier and Ristic 1984	homotypic synonym, validly published

Notes:
- The Candidatus designation is for new, incompletely described taxa, in order to give them a provisional status; changing validly published name to Candidatus would lose their standing in nomenclature. So, Neimark et al. revise "Candidatus Mycoplasma haematofelis" to Mycoplasma haemofelis nom. nov.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 2, note = "t".
