Abstract:
Species of the family Nycteribiidae are blood-sucking ectoparasites that parasitize bats. To further enrich the molecular data of species in the family Nycteribiidae, the complete mitochondrial genome of Nycteribia parvula was sequenced for the first time in this study. The complete mitochondrial genome of N. parvula is 16,060 base pairs (bp) in size, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The nucleotide contents of A, T, G, and C are respectively 40.86%, 42.19%, 6.51%, and 10.44%. The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs supports the monophyly of the family Nycteribiidae, and N. parvula is the closest relative to Phthiridium szechuanum.
