Complete mitochondrial genome of cylicocyclus auriculatus: molecular structure and phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Cylicocyclus spp. (Nematoda: Strongylida: Cyathostominae) are the common and important parasitic nematodes found in horses and donkeys worldwide. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Cylicocyclus auriculatus Looss 1900, a representative member of this genus from the donkey in Southwest China was determined using the next-generation DNA sequencing technology. The genome was 13,851 bp in size and consisted of 36 genes including 12 protein-coding genes (atp6, cox1-3, cytb, nad1-6 and nad4L), 22 transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes (rrnL and rrnS), as well as two non-coding regions. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. auriculatus and Cylicocyclus insigne Boulenger 1917 were closely related, a
