Tsetse are the only cyclical vectors of African trypanosomes, responsible for Human African Trypanosomiasis and Animal African Trypanosomiasis (Krafsur, 2009). Tsetse harbor, mainly in the gut, diverse communities of microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. They are composed of maternally transmitted endosymbionts and environmentally acquired microbes. There is an increasing interest on tsetse fly microbiota consequent to their influence on tsetse physiology. Tsetse microbiota is thought to modulate the vectorial competence and may therefore have a potential for the disease control (Attardo et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2013). Several bacterial genera including Pseudomonas sp. acquired from the environment have been detected in tsetse (Doudoumis et al., 2017; Lindh & Lehane, 2011; Mfopit et al., 2023; Tsakeng et al., 2022).The genus Pseudomonas is a gram-negative, rod-shaped Gammaproteobacteria. The members of the genus are able to colonize various ecological niches (Moradali et al., 2017). Numerous new species have been described, which were isolated from different environments including soil, water, sediments, air, animals, plants, fungi, algae, compost, human and animal related sources.Pseudomonas spp are characterized by their low antibiotic susceptibility and have emerged as major opportunistic human pathogen capable of causing a wide range of acute and chronic life-threatening infections, particularly in patients with compromised immune system (Moradali et al., 2017). Certain members of the genus Pseudomonas have been used as biocontrol agents and as bioremediation agents (Weller, 2007), (Anayo et al., 2019).Here, we report the complete genome and brief annotation of Pseudomonas sp. isolated from tsetse gut.
