Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the New Zealand parasitic nematode Teladorsagia circumcincta field strain NZ_Teci_NP was sequenced and annotated. The 14,083 bp-long mitogenome contains 12 protein-coding genes (atp8 gene missing), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs). Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. circumcincta NZ_Teci_NP forms a monophyletic cluster with the remaining Haemonchidae species and further reinforces the high levels of diversity and gene flow observed among Trichostrongylidae.
