Genome Sequence Resource of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' from Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) from La Réunion.

'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas) is an insect-transmitted, phloem-restricted α-proteobacterium associated with huanglongbing (HLB). Here, we provide the whole genome sequence of CLas strain, ReuSP1, from its insect vector Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) collected in La Reunion. The genome is composed of 1,230,064 bp and has a 36.5% G+C content. This study reports the first CLas genome sequence from La Reunion, which will add to CLas genome resources and help elucidate our understanding of the introduction pathway into La Reunion.
