Biomphalaria straminea is an invasive species in China and is one of the intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni which results in the spread of schistosomiasis. Herein, we firstly report the complete mitochondrial genome of B. straminea. The full length of the mitochondrial genome is 13,652 bp. It consists of 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The contents of each base in the complete mitochondrial genome are 33.28% A, 42.01% T, 10.85% C, and 13.87% G, with a high A þ T content of 75.29%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the relationship of B. straminea and Biomphalaria tenagophila was more closed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
