Abstract:
Leptospirosis is an important cause of acute undifferentiated fever and complex multisystem febrile
diseases in the tropics and subtropics. Understanding the evolution of Leptospira especially as related
to the clinical pathogenesis of leptospirosis is facilitated by systematic comparative genomic analysis
of human-infecting isolates. Here, we announce the complete genome sequences of three Leptospira
strains that were isolated from blood of humans with undifferentiated fever in Sri Lanka
