The complete mitochondrial genome of Haemaphysalis montgomeryi

Abstract

The complete mitogenome of Haemaphysalis montgomeryi is reported for the first time in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 14,681 bp in length and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region. The phylogenetic relations base on the maximum-likelihood (ML) method show that H. montgomeryi and the other members of the genus Haemaphysalis constitute a monophyletic group, confirming that H. montgomeryi belongs to the genus Haemaphysalis.
