  abstract = {{O}bjective{A}lthough loiasis affects more than 20 million people and that its associated clinical complications can cause multiple organ failures, this disease remains understudied. {C}onsequently, the elimination of loiasis is not on the agenda of public health services. {D}efining an effective strategy to tackle this disease is challenging and requires a better understanding of the parasite's biology, including its genetic aspects. {L}oa loa adult worms provide large amounts of biological tissues for genetic sequencing, but are very difficult to collect. {T}herefore, limited genomic data are available for this parasite. {T}his study aimed to produce a more complete genome assembly of {L}. loa worm, which can be used for future research on genetic diversity, population dynamics and immunological processes.{D}ata description{A} 91.2 {M}b genome assembly (150 contigs, {N}50 = 1.14 {M}b, {GC} content = 30.67%) was generated from a single adult female {L}. loa worm, sequenced on a {P}rometh{ION} flow cell to a read depth of 147 & times;. {A}lignment of this assembly with the available {L}oa reference genome displayed 96.08% identity. {BUSCO} analysis showed a 98.0% completeness of universally conserved nematode genes. {T}he whole-genome assembly reported in this study were deposited in {NCBI} under the accession number {JBSOQI}010000000.},
