Abstract:
Sarcophaga tuberosa has certain sanitary and epidemiological significance and takes proteins from decaying matter. In this study, we first sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. tuberosa. The length of mitogenome was 15,173 bp, consisting of A (39.5%), G (9.4%), T (37.0%), and C (14.1%), and the order and orientation of genes were identical with that from the mittogenomes of flesh flies previously reported. Phylogenetic analyses showed that S. tuberosa was clustered separately, but which was closed to the species of Sarcophaga portschinskyi. This study provided better support for further understanding of phylogenetic relationships and enriched the mitogenome database of flesh flies.
