The complete mitochondrial genome of major malaria vector Anopheles anthropophagus (Diptera: Culicidae) in China

Anopheles anthropophagus (Xu and Feng 1975) is the major vector of malaria in Eastern and Southern China. The species An. anthropophagus is considered a synonym of An. lesteri (Baisas & Hu, 1936), although they differ in several key biological characteristics. Here, we report the complete mitoch...

Descripción
Sumario:Anopheles anthropophagus (Xu and Feng 1975) is the major vector of malaria in Eastern and Southern China. The species An. anthropophagus is considered a synonym of An. lesteri (Baisas & Hu, 1936), although they differ in several key biological characteristics. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of An. anthropophagus for the first time. The mitogenome of An. anthropophagus is a typical circular, double-stranded molecule with a total length of 15,413 base pairs, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. A phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitogenomes of 16 species of Anopheles (Culicidae) revealed that An. anthropophagus is closely related to An. sinensis (Wiedemann 1828), in the family Culicidae. The An. anthropophagus mitogenome provides new data for further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of the genus Anopheles.
