We first sequenced and characterised the complete mitochondrial genome of Toxocara apodeme, then studied the evolutionary relationship of the species within Toxocaridae. The complete mitochondrial genome was amplified using PCR with 14 specific primers. The mitogenome length was 14303 bp in size, including 12 PCGs (encoding 3,423 amino acids), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 2 NCRs, with 68.38% A+T contents. The mt genomes of T. apodemi had relatively compact structures with 11 intergenic spacers and 5 overlaps. Comparative analyses of the nucleotide sequences of complete mt genomes showed that T. apodemi had higher identities with T. canis than other congeners. A sliding window analysis of 12 PCGs among 5 Toxocara species indicated that nad4 had the highest sequence divergence, and cox1 was the least variable gene. Relative synonymous codon usage showed that UUG, ACU, CCU, CGU, and UCU most frequently occurred in the complete genomes of T. apodemi. The Ka/Ks ratio showed that all Toxocara mt genes were subject to purification selection. The largest genetic distance between T. apodemi and the other 4 congeneric species was found in nad2, and the smallest was found in cox2. Phylogenetic analyses based on the concatenated amino acid sequences of 12 PCGs demonstrated that T. apodemi formed a distinct branch and was always a sister taxon to other congeneric species. The present study determined the complete mt genome sequences of T. apodemi, which provide novel genetic markers for further studies of the taxonomy, population genetics, and systematics of the Toxocaridae nematodes.

“…Almost all PCGs had ATN as the start codon, except cox1 which starts with TCG. The canonical start codons (ATN) were commonly found in most insect species [37], and TCG as the start codon of cox1 was also common in ies [38]. The termination codons of most PCGs were TAA and TAG, in addition to four genes (cox1, cox2, nad4, and nad5) that stop with T, which was a common phenomenon among the Sarcophagidae [39].…”

Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) is considered to be of great medical, forensic, and ecological importance. However, complete mitogenome information for this species is still scarce. Here, the first complete sequencing of the mitogenome of S. argyrostoma was sequenced and analyzed. The mitogenome of S. argyrostoma was 16,454 bp in size with an AT content of 75.7 %. The gene order and direction among species within the Liopygia subgenus were highly conserved, and no gene rearrangement was found in S. argyrostoma. Selection pressure analysis revealed that all the PCG genes evolved under strong purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that S. argyrostoma was closely related to S. ruficornis. The results obtained in this study not only enrich the existing molecular databases of this group but also provide valuable information for subsequent species identification and phylogenetic analysis.
