Description of genome sequences of arthropod-associated spirochetes of the genus <i>Entomospira</i>
Spirochetal bacteria isolated from arthropods of the genera <i>Culex</i> and <i>Aedes</i> are termed BR149, BR151 (<i>Entomospira culicis</i>), BR193 (<i>Entomospira entomophila</i>), and BR208 (<i>Entomospira nematocerorum</i>). Genome sizes assembled from Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore reads varied between 1.67 and 1.78 Mb containing three to six plasmids. GC content ranged from 38.5% to 45.76%.
