Abstract

Here, we present complete chromosome sequences of Borrelia miyamotoi samples CZ-F1E and CZ-F190E, which were obtained from Ixodes ricinus eggs from Czechia. The chromosome sequences, assembled from Illumina and Sanger sequencing data, had average coverage values of 647× and 3,216×, respectively. They belong to the European genotype, distinct from the Asian and American strains.
