The complete mitochondrial genome of Gasterophilus intestinalis, the first representative of the family Gasterophilidae.

Gasterophilus spp. (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) has a worldwide distribution; however, no complete mitochondrial (mt) genome data is available for Diptera which has greatly impeded population genetics, phylogenetics, and systematics studies in Gasterophilidae. Mt genome is known to provide genetic markers for investigations in these areas, but complete mt genomic datasets have been lacking for many Gasterophilidae species.

Sequence variation in three mitochondrial genes among Gasterophilus intestinalis isolates from two distinct regions in China.

Horse gastrointestinal myiasis caused by larvae of Gasterophilus spp. has a worldwide distribution. However, little information is available on the genetic variation of Gasterophilus spp.

Genetic variability among Hymenolepis nana isolates from different geographical regions in China revealed by sequence analysis of three mitochondrial genes.

Hymenolepis nana is a common tapeworm that parasitizes in the small intestine of rodent animals and humans. The present study examined the sequence diversity of three mitochondrial (mt) genes namely NADH dehydrogenase subunits 5 (nad5), small subunit ribosomal RNA (rrnS), and ATPase subunit 6 (atp6) of H. nana from mice in different geographical regions of China.

Complete Mitochondrial genome of an equine intestinal parasite, Triodontophorus brevicauda (Chromadorea: Strongylidae): the first characterization within the genus.

The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of Triodontophorus brevicauda, an intestinal equine nematode parasite was determined for the first time. The circular T. brevicauda mt genome is 14,305 bp in length and contains 36 genes, of which 12 code for protein, 22 for transfer RNA, and two for ribosomal RNA, and lacks atp8 mtDNA gene.
