Paenibacillus senegalensis strain JC66(T), is the type strain of Paenibacillus senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Paenibacillus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. P. senegalensis strain JC66(T) is a facultative Gram-negative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, togeth...

Bartonella senegalensis sp. nov. strain OS02(T) is the type strain of B. senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Bartonella. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated in Senegal from the soft tick Ornithodoros sonrai, the vector of relapsing fever. B. senegalensis is an aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium. Here we describe the features of this organism, to...

BACKGROUND Malaria still remains a major health issue in Ghana despite the introduction of Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) coupled with other preventative measures such as the use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs). The global quest for eradication of malaria has heightened the interest of identifying drugs that target the sexual stage of the parasite, referred to as transmission-bl...

BACKGROUND In savannah-dominated Bénin, West Africa, and forest-dominated Gabon, Central Africa, plants are a major source of healthcare for women and children. Due to this high demand and the reliance on wild populations as sources for medicinal plants, overharvesting of African medicinal plants is a common concern. Few studies in Western Africa, however, have assessed variations in harvest pa...

Anaerococcus senegalensis strain JC48 sp. nov. is the type strain of A. senegalensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Anaerococcus. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from the fecal flora of a healthy patient. A. senegalensis is an obligate anaerobic coccus. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. ...
