Abstract

Leishmania (Mundinia) sp. Ghana is a kinetoplastid parasite isolated in 2015 in Ghana. We report the complete genome sequence of L. (M.) sp. Ghana, sequenced using combined short-read and long-read technologies. This will facilitate greater understanding of this novel pathogen and its relationships within the subgenus Mundinia.
