Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira. In Brazil, this disease is endemic, presenting epidemic potential in rainy seasons. Here, we announce the whole-genome sequences of two L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni strains isolated from blood samples from two icteric patients associated with severe leptospirosis in Brazil.
