Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is the main etiological agent of tegumentary leishmaniasis in the neotropics. Here, we report a draft genome sequence (31.2 Mb) of an L. braziliensis strain from the western Amazon region of Brazil. This genome sequence will complement those available for other Leishmania species and contribute to further studies focusing on this parasite and the neglected diseases associated with it.
