Abstract

Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides is the etiological agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP). While several findings on CBPP prevalence in Nigeria were documented, no data were reported about the genomic characterization of Nigerian M. mycoides subsp. mycoides strains. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two novel M. mycoides subsp. mycoides strains isolated in Nigeria.
