The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Dorcadia ioffi (Siphonaptera: Vermipsyllidae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Dorcadia ioffi was determined. The mitogenome is 16,785 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region. The nucleotide composition of the D. ioffi mitogenome was A: 40.10%, T: 40.61%, G: 7.74%, C: 11.55%. The A + T content is 80.71%, showing strong AT skew. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Siphonapteran may have sister relationship with Dipteran.
