Characterization of mitochondrial genome of Haemagogus janthinomys (Diptera: Culicidae).

Haemagogus janthinomysis a mosquito of high importance in public health due its involvement on natural wild cycles of two important arboviruses in the Brazilian Amazon region:Yellow Fever virus(Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) andMayaro virus(Togaviridae, Alphavirus). Here, we have sequenced and described all the mitochondrial genes for theHg. janthinomysspecies. The complete coding sequence is14 937 bp long and includes 37 functional genes, of which 13 codes for proteins, 22 for tRNA and 2 for ribosomal subunits. Region A + T (control region) is not presented here. The data should be helpful on further taxonomic and evolutionary studies of this important arbovirus vector. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
