title: First Draft Genome Sequence of the Dourine Causative Agent:Trypanosoma EquiperdumStrain OVI.
abstract: Trypanosoma equiperdumis the causative agent of dourine, a sexually-transmitted infection of horses. This parasite belongs to the subgenus Trypanozoon that also includes the agent of sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma brucei) and surra (Trypanosoma evansi). We herein report the genome sequence of aT. equiperdumstrain OVI, isolated from a horse in South-Africa in 1976. This is the first genome sequence of theT. equiperdumspecies, and its availability will provide important insights for future studies on genetic classification of the subgenus Trypanozoon.
