Proposing merge from Histophilus and Histophilosis to Histophilus somni

 * Merge - Histophilus is a stub for the monotypic genus. Histophilosis is just a common name, aguably, and also a stub. Merge all to species, Histophilus somni. --Nessie (talk) 22:59, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA/WP:MONOTYPICFLORA (or whatever the equivalent is for bacteria), and WP:MERGEREASON. It makes sense to discuss the infection along side the pathogen until the point when the sheer length of description of either becomes unwieldy and cumbersome, warranting a WP:SIZESPLIT. There are far too many isolated scattered stubs lacking centralized context. A single article covering two very closely related concepts is a better resource for readers than multiple stubs. The bacterium itself should be the primary article title. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge — per previous statements. DferDaisy (talk) 00:53, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
