The complete mitochondrial genome of the bazaar fly, Musca sorbens Wiedemann (Diptera: Muscidae)

Abstract

The bazaar fly, Musca sorbens (Diptera: Muscidae) Wiedemann, 1830 is a worldwide species with sanitary, medical, and veterinary importance. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. sorbens is sequenced to better understand the mitogenomic characteristics and phylogeny of this species. The circular mitogenome is 16,120 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), two rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. The mitogenome comprises an A þ T content of 77.4%. All PCGs start with "ATN" codons except for COI which starts with TCG, and terminate with the common stop codons TNN. A phylogenetic tree, including six Muscidae species, is reconstructed based on the whole mitogenome sequences. The interspecific distances of mitogenomes between the six Muscidae species range from 0.059 to 0.168.

“…There was also a significant difference observed between the HL and NL groups in response to Md antigens at 24, 48, and 72 h post-injection, but notably no significant differences were observed in the size of the immediate response at 1 h. These later responses to Md antigens are not surprising given the relatively close phylogenetic relationship between M. domestica and H. irritans [ 28 , 29 ] and the likelihood of common cross-reacting antigens. House fly antigens were included in this study to assess for the possibility of cross-reactivity.…”
