The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two Isospora species (Eimeriidae, Eucoccidiorida, Coccidiasina, Apicomplexa) causing coccidiosis in superb glossy starlings, Lamprotornis superbus (Aves: Sturnidae)

Complete mitochondrial genomes are reported for two Isospora 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 Isospora greineri and 6217 bp for Isospora superbusi. Each encoded 3 protein-coding genes, (COI,...

Descripción
Sumario:Complete mitochondrial genomes are reported for two Isospora 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 Isospora greineri and 6217 bp for Isospora superbusi. 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 Eimeria sp. mt genomes; start codon usage was conventional. The mitochondrial genome structures of Isospora and Eimeria species are conserved and reflect the close phylogenetic association between these eimeriid genera of apicomplexan parasites.
