Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence Data Provides Genetic Evidence That the Brown Dog Tick <i>Rhipicephalus sanguineus</i> (Acari: Ixodidae) Represents a Species Complex

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites of great medical and veterinary significance that can transmit bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses, and cause a variety of human and animal diseases worldwide. In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Rhipicephalus sanguineus from China (RSC) and compared with that of R. sanguineus from USA (RSU). Nucleotide sequence difference in the...
