The complete mitochondrial genome of Gyrodactylus pseudorasborae (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea) with a phylogeny of Gyrodactylidae parasites.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gyrodactylus von Nordmann, 1832, a genus of viviparous parasites within the family Gyrodactylidae, contains one of the largest nominal species in the world. Gyrodactylus pseudorasborae Ondračková, Seifertová & Tkachenko, 2023 widely distributed in Europe and China, although its mitochondrial genome remains unclear. This study aims to sequence the mitogenome of G.pseudorasborae and clarify its phylogenetic relationship within the Gyrodactylidea. The mitochondrial genome of G. pseudorasborae was amplified in six parts from a single parasite, sequenced using primer walking, annotated and analyzed using bioinformatic tools.

Results

The mitochondrial genome of G. pseudorasborae is 14,189 bp in length, containing 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tR
