Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genomes of Coronocyclus labiatus and Cylicodontophorus bicoronatus: Comparison with Strongylidae species and phylogenetic implication.

Coronocyclus labiatus and Cylicodontophorus bicoronatus are two significant horse parasitic nematodes which are classified into subfamily Cyathostominae, family Strongylidae, however, the classification of these nematodes has been controversial for more than a century. Mitochondrial (mt) genomes are considered valuable sources for parasite taxonomy, population genetics, and systematics studies. In the present study, the mt genomes of Co.

Comparative analysis of mitochondrial DNA datasets indicates that Cylicostephanus minutus represents a species complex.

Cyathostomins are one kind of the most important parasites in equids. Cylicostephanus minutus is a member of the subfamily Cyathostominae. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes from four Cs.
