The complete mitochondrial genome of Amblyomma testudinarium (Ixodida: Ixodidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Amblyomma testudinarium is reported for the first time in this study. Its entire mitogenome is 14,760 bp in length, contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. The phylogenetic analysis by Bayesian inference method show that A. testudinarium and the others of genus Amblyomma are in the same clade, indicating that A. testudinarium belongs to the genus Amblyomma.
