“…1-4). The tRNA Ser1 was the only one that did not present a secondary structure similar to the others, showing the absence of DHU arm, replaced by a DHU loop, similar to that reported in previous studies of other mosquito species 32,39,44,54 , and other groups of insects 31,48,56 . Besides, between 18 and 22 mismatched base pairs were detected in the tRNAs of the mitogenomes sequenced: in Hg.…”

“…Thus, among the four investigated mitogenomes, the most frequently used codons were, in decreasing order, UUA (L) (average RSCU value 5.37), CGA (A) (2.80), UCU (S) (2.68), CCU (P) (2.61), and GGA (G) (2.54), while CUC (L) (RSCU value 0.01), ACG (T) (0.01), and CUG (L) (0.01) were rarely used. It was observed that all codons with RSCU ≥ 1 were of the NNU and/or NNA type, corroborating with other studies, in which this tendency to use codons seems to follow a frequent pattern, as observed in Culicidae 39,40,44,45,50,54 , and other groups of insects 33,36,56 . Among the four sequenced mitogenomes, a total of 20 different amino acids are coded, with Leucine being the most frequent amino acid (15.9%), and Cysteine the least frequent (1.01%).…”

The genus Haemagogus (Diptera: Culicidae) comprises species of great epidemiological relevance, involved in transmission cycles of the Yellow fever virus and other arboviruses in South America. So far, only Haemagogus janthinomys has complete mitochondrial sequences available. Given the unavailability of information related to aspects of the evolutionary biology and molecular taxonomy of this genus, we report here, the first sequencing of the mitogenomes of Haemagogus albomaculatus, Haemagogus leucocelaenus, Haemagogus spegazzinii, and Haemagogus tropicalis. The mitogenomes showed an average length of 15,038 bp, average AT content of 79.3%, positive AT-skews, negative GC-skews, and comprised 37 functional subunits (13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, and 02 rRNA). The PCGs showed ATN as start codon, TAA as stop codon, and signs of purifying selection. The tRNAs had the typical leaf clover structure, except tRNASer1. Phylogenetic analyzes of Bayesian inference and Maximum Likelihood, based on concatenated sequences from all 13 PCGs, produced identical topologies and strongly supported the monophyletic relationship between the Haemagogus and Conopostegus subgenera, and corroborated with the known taxonomic classification of the evaluated taxa, based on external morphological aspects. The information produced on the mitogenomes of the Haemagogus species evaluated here may be useful in carrying out future taxonomic and evolutionary studies of the genus.

“…aegypti, 79 %. Similar to Anopheles species [ 34 ] and other orders of Insecta [ 36 ], the value of the AT content increased in the third codon position of the PCGs varying from 81.4 % to 86.6 %, being slightly lower than in the control region (89.2 % to 90.1 %). One explanation for this phenomenon is the “transcription hypothesis of the codon usage” [ 38 ].…”

“…Eleven genes ( ATP6 , ATP8 , COX3 , CytB , NAD2 , NAD3 , NAD4 , NAD4L , NAD5 , NAD6 ) have complete TAA stop codons, except for COX1 and COX2 genes, which terminate with an incomplete codon T. This phenomenon has been extensively reported in other mitochondrial genomes, especially in COX genes, and so far it has been related to posttranscriptional polyadenylation, during which residual adenines are added in order to originate TAA terminators [ 34 , 36 , 41 ].…”

“…Results of the analysis of the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) showed that the codons with adenine and thymine in the third position were overused when compared to other synonymous codons (Table 4 ), which commonly occurs in other metazoan mitochondrial genomes [ 36 , 37 , 42 ]. This can be observed in the leucine amino acid, i.e., while the TTA codon presented a RSCU value of 3.75, the codon CTG, which also translates a leucine, showed a RSCU value of 0.14.…”

Mitochondrial genomes and comparative analyses of Culex camposi, Culex coronator, Culex usquatus and Culex usquatissimus (Diptera:Culicidae), members of the coronator group

BackgroundThe Coronator Group currently encompasses six morphologically similar species (Culex camposi Dyar, Culex coronator Dyar and Knab, Culex covagarciai Forattini, Culex usquatus Dyar, Culex usquatissimus Dyar, and Culex ousqua Dyar). Culex coronator has been incriminated as a potential vector of West Nile Virus (WNV), Saint Louis Encephalitis Virus (SLEV), and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV). The complete mitochondrial genome of Cx. coronator, Cx. usquatus, Cx.usquatissimus, and Cx. camposi was sequenced, annotated, and analyzed to provide genetic information about these species.ResultsThe mitochondrial genomes of Cx. coronator, Cx. usquatus, Cx.usquatissimus, and Cx. camposi varied from 15,573 base pairs in Cx. usquatus to 15,576 in Cx. coronator. They contained 37 genes (13 protein-encoding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and the AT-rich control region. Comparative analyses of the 37 genes demonstrated the mitochondrial genomes to be composed of variable and conserved genes. Despite the small size, the ATP8, ATP6 plus NADH5 protein-encoding genes were polymorphic, whereas tRNAs and rRNAs were conserved. The control region contained some poly-T stretch. The Bayesian phylogenetic tree corroborated that both the Coronator Group and the Culex pipens complex are monophyletic taxa.ConclusionsThe mitochondrial genomes of Cx. coronator, Cx. usquatus, Cx. usquatissimus and Cx. camposi share the same gene composition and arrangement features that match to those reported for most Culicidae species. They are composed of the same 37 genes and the AT-rich control region, which contains poly-T stretches that may be involved in the functional role of the mitochondrial genome. Taken together, results of the dN/dS ratios, the sliding window analyses and the Bayesian phylogenetic analyses suggest that ATP6, ATP8 and NADH5 are promising genes to be employed in phylogenetic studies involving species of the Coronator Group, and probably other species groups of the subgenus Culex. Bayesian topology corroborated the morphological hypothesis of the Coronator Group as monophyletic lineage within the subgenus Culex.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12864-015-1951-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Nymphalidae is the most diverse butterfly family worldwide, with more than 6000 species, whereas the mitogenomic data of nymphalid species, especially the subfamily Danainae, is still lacking for more comprehensive systematic studies. To this contribution, the complete mitogenome of Danaus genutia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Danainae) was determined via sequencing and annotating. The mitogenome in total consists of 15,255 base pairs (bp), containing 13 proteincoding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a 440-bp noncoding A+T-rich region. Furthermore, phylogeny of the subfamily Danainae was reconstructed applying maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference on the basis of the mitogenomic data sets. Combined with our analysis and previous studies, the genus-level phylogenetic relationships within the subfamily Danainae are ((Tirumala + Danaus) + ((Idea + Euploea) + (Ideopsis + Parantica))). This study offers molecular information and provides a new perspective for phylogenetic research within the subfamily Danainae.
