Mitogenomes of mosquito species of Harris County in Texas.

ABSTRACT: Harris County, Texas, remains at continuous risk to mosquito-borne diseases due to its geographic landscape and abundance of medically important mosquito vectors. Targeted mitigation of these mosquitoes requires accurate identification of these mosquitoes taxa. Currently, there is a paucity of genetic information to inform molecular identification and phylogenetic relationships beyond well-studied mosquito species. Here we utilized a genome skimming approach using shallow shot gun sequencing to generate data and assemble the mitochondrial genomes of 37 mosquito species collected in Harris County, Texas. This report includes the complete mitochondrial genome for 25 newly sequenced species spanning 10 genera; the genomes were consistent with reference genomes in the GenBank database having 3
