Abstract
Heterosentis holospinus Amin, Heckman & Ha, 2011 is a parasitic acanthocephalan, with Cynoglossus bilineatus Lacepède, 1802 identified as a new definitive host. We sequenced and annotated its complete mitochondrial genome, which spans 16,560 bp and contains 36 genes, including 22 tRNAs, 12 PCGs and 2 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of Heterosentis and its current taxonomic status. This study enriches essential molecular data that contribute to a clearer phylogenetic framework for Acanthocephala and highlight the utility of mitochondrial genomes in resolving taxonomic relationships at both the genus and family levels.
期刊介绍:
This open access journal publishes high-quality and concise research articles reporting the sequence of full mitochondrial genomes, and short communications focusing on the physical, chemical, and biochemical aspects of mtDNA and proteins involved in mtDNA metabolism and interactions.
