We announce the draft genome sequences of two pathogenic microsporidia of European freshwater crustaceans, Thelohania contejeani (the causative agent of porcelain disease) and Cucumispora dikerogammari . Both species are implicated in mass mortalities in natural populations of their crayfish and amphipod hosts, respectively.
