Abstract：
Phthiridium szechuanum is a bat surface parasite under the family Nycteribiidae that prefers to roost in the hair of bats to feed on their blood. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of P. szechuanum was studied for the first time using Illumina sequencing technology. The mitochondrial genome was 14,896 bp in size and was predicted to encode 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using the IQ-TREE web server and phylogenetic analysis was performed using the maximum likelihood method, and P. szechuanum was found to be phylogenetically closest to Basilia ansifera. These data will provide a molecular biological approach to the species identification of P. szechuanum and provide a new reference for further studies on the population genetics and phylogeny of the family Nycteribiidae.
摘要：
Phiridiumszechuanum是Nycteribiidae家族下的蝙蝠表面寄生虫，喜欢栖息在蝙蝠的头发中以血液为食。在这项研究中,首次使用Illumina测序技术研究了P.szechuuum的完整线粒体基因组。线粒体基因组大小为14,896bp，预测编码37个基因，包括13个蛋白质编码基因，22个转移RNA基因，和2个核糖体RNA基因。使用IQ-TREE网络服务器构建系统发育树，并使用最大似然法进行系统发育分析，并且发现S.Zechuanum在系统发育上最接近Basiliaansifera。这些数据将为紫杉的种类鉴定提供分子生物学方法，并为进一步研究Nycteribiidae科的种群遗传学和系统发育提供新的参考。
