Phylogenetic and genetic evolutionary analyses of the mitochondrial genome of <i>Mastophorus muris</i> in <i>Neodon fuscus</i> from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

ABSTRACT: The larvae of the nematode family can infect several animals. Mastophorus muris is a parasitic nematode that infects mammals and has a worldwide distribution. In this study, the phylogenetic relationships and differentiation time of M. muris collected from Neodon fuscus were studied using molecular methods. The phylogenetic tree constructed based on 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), cytochrome oxidase subunit I (cox 1), 18S rRNA, and 28S rRNA showed that M. muris was closely related to the Onchocercidae family and that this relationship was highly node-supported. The mitochondrial genome of M. muris was found to be a circular double-stranded DNA molecule with 32 mitochondrial genes, including 12 PCGs (ND4L, CYTB, ND1-6, cox 1-3, ATP6), 18 tRNA
