Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial Genomes Among the Calliphoridae (Insecta: Diptera: Oestroidea) and Phylogenetic Implications.

ABSTRACT: The Calliphoridae (blowflies) are significant for forensic science, veterinary management, medical science, and economic issues. However, the phylogenetic relationships within this family are poorly understood and controversial, and the status of the Calliphoridae has been a crucial problem for understanding the evolutionary relationships of the Oestroidea these years. In the present study, seven mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), including six calliphorid species and one Polleniidae species, were sequenced and annotated. Then a comparative mitochondrial genomic analysis among the Calliphoridae is presented. Additionally, the phylogenetic relationship of the Calliphoridae within the larger context of the other Oestroidea was reconstructed based on the mitogenomic datasets using maximum l
