Characterization of the Mitochondrial Genome of <i>Cavariella salicicola</i>: Insight into the Codon Usage Bias and Phylogenetic Implications in Aphidinae.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cavariella salicicola (Hemiptera: Aphidinae) is a pest on Salix spp. and various Umbelliferae (Apiaceae) vegetables. However, the taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationship of the genus Cavariella within Aphidinae remain controversial due to the small body size and easily confused external morphology. Methods: The complete mitochondrial genome of C. salicicola collected from Oenanthe javanica was sequenced using the Illumina platform and compared with C. theobaldi. The codon usage bias of two Cavariella aphids was assessed through Enc plot, PR2 plot, and neutrality plot analyses. Furthermore, phylogenetic trees were constructed based on both Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analysis. Results</
