Complete genome sequence of <i>Borrelia miyamotoi</i> strain MN18-0001, an Am-East-2 strain type isolate derived from an <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> tick (Minnesota)
We report the genomic sequence of the hard tick relapsing fever spirochete <i>Borrelia miyamotoi</i> strain MN18-0001. <i>B. miyamotoi</i> causes human illness and is geographically widespread in <i>Ixodes</i> spp. (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks. This is a chromosome- and plasmid-resolved genome assembly of an Am-East-2 strain type isolate from the midwestern United States.
