The complete mitochondrial genome of Anisakis pegreffii Campana-Rouget & Biocca, 1955, (Nematoda, Chromadorea, Rhabditida, Anisakidae) – clarification of mitogenome sequences of the Anisakis simplex species complex

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Anisakis pegreffii (former A. simplex A) was determined using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The genome was 14,002 bp in length made up of 36 mitochondrial genes (12 CDSs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs). Phylogenetic analysis clarified the mitogenome sequences of the three sibling species of the A. simplex species complex, A. pegreffii, A. simplex sensu stricto and A. berlandi (former A. simplex C).
