Draft genome sequence of "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos," a hemotropic mycoplasma identified in cattle in Mexico

Abstract

We present here the draft genome sequence of the first "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos" strain found in cattle in Mexico. This hemotropic mycoplasma causes acute and chronic disease in animals. This genome is a starting point for studying the role of this mycoplasma in coinfections and synergistic mechanisms associated with the disease.
