Genomes On Line Database. Parinauds Oculoglandular Syndrome Elmer Y. Afipia felis previously described as the etiological agent to cause cat scratch disease and Afipia septicemium most recently shown to cause disease in humans highlight the potential for members of this genus to form a branch of opportunistic pathogens within the Bradyrhizobiaceae.

Tu Parinauds oculoglandular conjunctivitis is a form of follicular granulomatous conjunctivitis with or without ulceration often associated with a visible swollen preauricular andor submandibular lymph node on the same side1 Fig. Afipia felis is a bacterium that has been shown to have similar axenic growth requirements to Legionella sp. It was later determined to cause only a small number of cases while the majority of infections where due to Bartonella henselae.

Felis was able to parasitize free-living amoebae in the same manner as Legionella 9.
