The first mitogenome of the genus <i>Amphalius</i> (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae) and its phylogenetic implications.

ABSTRACT: Amphalius spirataenius belongs to Arthropoda, Insecta, Siphonaptera, Ceratophylloidea, Ceratophyllinae, Amphalius. Only 2 species from the subfamily Ceratophyllinae have been sequenced for mitogenomes to date. The genus Amphalius mitogenome research was still blank. The A. spirataenius mitogenome was determined, annotated and analysed for the first time in this study. The 14 825 bp long genome has the typical metazoan of 37 genes with insect ancestral genome arrangement pattern. There was no significant difference in codon usage of 13 protein-coding genes: UUA, UCU, GUU, ACU and GCU were the most frequently used codons. It was found that the reason for codon preference mainly contributed to natural selection base on PR2, ENC-plot and neutrality curve analysis. E
