Abstract

Candida parapsilosis is a common human commensal and opportunistic fungal pathogen that is also found in non-human primates (NHPs). Here, we report the first draft sequence of C. parapsilosis NCYC 4418, a fecal isolate from an adult cynomolgus macaque.

Keywords: Candida parapsilosis; cynomolgus macaque; fungal pathogen; genome sequence; gut mycobiome; non-human primate.
