The draft genome sequence of Borrelia crocidurae strain 03-02, a blood isolate from a febrile Senegalese patient, comprises a 920,021-bp linear chromosome (27.7% GC content), 32 tRNAs, 818 open reading frames, and one cluster of regularly inter-spaced short palindromic repeats. Its genotype differs from that of the Achema reference strain.
