High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica Strain 08T0073 Isolated from a Wild European Hare.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica strain 08T0073, isolated from the cadaver of a wild European hare (Lepus europaeus) found near Helmstedt, Lower Saxony, Germany, in 2007. In Germany, infected hares are a major source of tularemia in humans.
