The plerocercoid larvae (spargana) of (Cestoda: Diphyllobothriidae) can parasitize humans, causing the zoonotic sparganosis. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of this tapeworm was determined using an Illumina sequencing platform. The entire genome was 13,642 bp in length and contained 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and two non-coding regions. The phylogeny indicated that was closely related to and supported the monophyletic relationships between , , and within the Dipyllobothriidae. These results should contribute to a better understanding of the phylogenetic position of this species.
阔节裂头绦虫（绦虫纲：双叶槽绦虫科）的裂头蚴幼虫（裂头绦虫）可寄生于人体，引发人兽共患的裂头蚴病。在本研究中，利用Illumina测序平台测定了该绦虫的完整线粒体基因组。整个基因组长度为13,642 bp，包含12个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA、两个核糖体RNA和两个非编码区。系统发育分析表明，该绦虫与[具体物种名称未给出]密切相关，并支持双叶槽绦虫科内[具体物种名称未给出]、[具体物种名称未给出]和[具体物种名称未给出]之间的单系关系。这些结果应有助于更好地理解该物种的系统发育位置。
