Amin, Heckman & Ha, 2011 is a parasitic acanthocephalan, with 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 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.
阿明、赫克曼和哈,2011年发现的一种寄生虫棘头虫,确定1802年的拉塞佩德为新的终末宿主。我们对其完整的线粒体基因组进行了测序和注释,该基因组跨度为16560 bp,包含36个基因,包括22个tRNA、12个PCG和2个rRNA。系统发育分析支持其单系性及其当前的分类地位。本研究丰富了重要的分子数据,有助于为棘头虫建立更清晰的系统发育框架,并突出了线粒体基因组在解决属和科水平分类关系方面的效用。
