title: Genome Sequence of the Relapsing Fever Borreliosis Species Borrelia hispanica.
abstract: Borrelia hispanica is the etiological pathogen of tick-borne relapsing fever, transmitted to humans by infected Ornithodoros erraticus ticks. Here we present the 1,783,846-bp draft genome sequence, with an average G+C content of 28%. It has 2,140 open reading frames, 3 ribosomal RNAs, and 32 transfer RNAs.
