The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Tunga penetrans</i> and insights into flea phylogeny

2025-06-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Tungiasis, one of the oldest and most neglected tropical diseases endemic to sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas, is caused by the female parasitic flea, Tunga penetrans . The flea burrows into the skin, leading to acute and chronic inflammation, often exacerbated by bacterial superinfection. Despite its significant public health impact, genomic studies on T. penetrans are scarce. Here, we pres...
