The complete mitochondrial genome of the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis s.s. has been sequenced, and is here described and compared with the homologous sequences of Bactrocera oleae and Ceratitis capitata. The genome is a circular molecule of 15,915 bp, and encodes the set of 37 genes generally found in animal mitochondrial genomes. The structure and organization of the molecule is typical and similar to the two closely related species B. oleae and C. capitata, although it presents an interesting case of putative intra-molecular recombination. The relevance of the growing comparative dataset of tephritid complete mitochondrial genomes is discussed in relation to the possibility to develop robust assays for species discrimination in quarantine and agricultural monitoring practices, as well as basic phylogeography/population genetic studies.
已对东方果实蝇（Bactrocera dorsalis s.s.）的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序，并在此进行描述，并与油橄榄实蝇（Bactrocera oleae）和地中海实蝇（Ceratitis capitata）的同源序列进行比较。该基因组是一个15,915 bp的环状分子，编码动物线粒体基因组中常见的37个基因。该分子的结构和组织是典型的，与两个近缘物种油橄榄实蝇和地中海实蝇相似，尽管它呈现出一个有趣的假定分子内重组案例。结合在检疫和农业监测实践中开发强大的物种鉴别检测方法以及基础系统地理学/群体遗传学研究的可能性，讨论了实蝇科完整线粒体基因组不断增加的比较数据集的相关性。
