Abstract

Porcisia hertigi is a parasitic kinetoplastid first isolated from porcupines (Coendou rothschildi) in central Panama in 1965. We present the complete genome sequence of P. hertigi, isolate C119, strain LV43, sequenced using combined short- and long-read technologies. This complete genome sequence will contribute to our knowledge of the parasitic genus Porcisia.
