Abstract

Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of six clinical Borrelia miyamotoi isolates from the Russian Federation. Using two independent next-generation sequencing platforms, we determined the complete sequence of the chromosome and several plasmids. All strains have an Asian genotype with 99.8% chromosome nucleotide similarity with B. miyamotoi strain FR64b.
