Abstract

Biomphalaria straminea is an invasive species in China and is one of the intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni which results in the spread of schistosomiasis. Herein, we firstly report the complete mitochondrial genome of B. straminea. The full length of the mitochondrial genome is 13,652 bp. It consists of 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The contents of each base in the complete mitochondrial genome are 33.28% A, 42.01% T, 10.85% C, and 13.87% G, with a high A + T content of 75.29%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the relationship of B. straminea and Biomphalaria tenagophila was more closed.
