Complete mitochondrial genomes are reported for two species causing systemic coccidiosis in Superb Glossy Starlings (Aves: Sturnidae). The A/T rich (34.7% G/C) genomes were 6223 bp in length for and 6217 bp for . Each encoded 3 protein-coding genes, (COI, COIII and CytB) plus 18 LSU and 14 SSU rDNA fragments. Arrangement of protein- and rRNA-coding regions was identical to known sp. mt genomes; start codon usage was conventional. The mitochondrial genome structures of and species are conserved and reflect the close phylogenetic association between these eimeriid genera of apicomplexan parasites.
已报道了两种导致辉椋鸟(雀形目:椋鸟科)全身性球虫病的物种的完整线粒体基因组。富含A/T(G/C含量为34.7%)的基因组,一种长度为6223 bp,另一种长度为6217 bp。每个基因组编码3个蛋白质编码基因(COI、COIII和CytB)以及18个大亚基和14个小亚基rDNA片段。蛋白质编码区和rRNA编码区的排列与已知的艾美球虫属物种的线粒体基因组相同;起始密码子的使用是常规的。这两个物种的线粒体基因组结构保守,反映了顶复门寄生虫这些艾美球虫属之间密切的系统发育关联。
