Leptospira interrogans serovar Hardjo (Hardjoprajitno) genome sequencing and assembly

A project to sequence the genome of Leptospira interrogans serovar Hardjo (strain Hardjoprajitno). DNA sequencing was conducted by Dr. Sreekumari Rajeev from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (St. Kitts & Nevis). Assembly and analysis was done in collaboration with the Bioinformatics Lab of INDICASAT AIP (Panama). The strain used in this project, which belongs to the serogroup Sejroe, is a lab-adapted strain used in microscopic agglutination testing in veterinary labs in USA for the last 39-40 years.
