Complete mitochondrial genome of the feather mite Ardeacarus ardeae (Acari, Sarcoptiformes, Pterolichidae)

Abstract

In this study, we determined the mitogenome sequence of Ardeacarus ardeae (Canestrini, 1878) in the family Pterolichidae (Acari, Sarcoptiformes), which is the first complete mitogenome sequence in feather mite. The mitogenome of A . ardeae is 14,069 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and a control region (CR). The phylogenetic tree shows that A . ardeae belong to the supercohort Desmonomatides within the order Sarcoptiformes.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Suidasia nesbitti and Phylogenetic Relationships of Astigmata

“…We downloaded all available whole mitochondrial genomes of Astigmata mite species from the NCBI GenBank database. The data set includes 14 Astigmata sequences, the outgroups used were two Oribatulidae mites (Paraleius leontonychus and Steganacarus magnu; Domes et al, 2008;Dermauw et al, 2009;Klimov and Oconnor, 2009;Gu et al, 2014;Que et al, 2014;Sun et al, 2014a,b;Rider et al, 2015;Yang and Li, 2015;Lee and Wang, 2016;Han and Min, 2017;Esteban et al, 2018;Sylvia et al, 2018;Xue et al, 2018).…”
