The complete mitochondrial genome of Haemaphysalis concinna (Ixodida: Ixodidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of Haemaphysalis concinna is reported for the first time in this study. Its entire mitogenome is 14,675 bp in length, contained 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two non-coding regions. Among the 13 protein-coding genes, apart from the nad1, nad4, nad4L, and nad5 gene encoded on the L-strand, the remaining protein-coding genes were encoded on the H-strand. The phylogenetic analysis by Bayesian inference method shows that Amblyomma sphenodonti and H. parva formed one Glade, while H. concinna and other species of genus Haemaphysalis formed the other Glade, indicating that H. concinna belong to the genus Haemaphysalis.
