Mtgenomes of Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. pipiens pallens with Emphasis on Comparitive Mtgenome Analysis of Culex Species (Diptera: Culicidae)| Chapter 3 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 2

 The traits and evolution of mitochondrial genomes (mtgenome) in the type Culex has little been famous. Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. pipiens pallens are the major headings of the Japanese type of encephalitis virus and Wuchereria bancrofti, the creative agent of filariasis. This study aims to series the mtgenomes of these two species and form basic understanding of the traits of mtgenomes in the genus Culex.In this study, we sequenced and noted the mtgenomes of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. p. pallens, and acted a comparative reasoning including four popular mtgenomes of species in the subgenus Culex (Culex). Based on concatenated protein-systematize gene sequences, the developmental connections of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Cx. p. pallens, and four famous Culex mtgenome sequences were reconstructed. Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. p. pallens mtgenomes are 14,844 bp and 15,617 bp long, two together consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and 1 CR (not sequenced for Cx. tritaeniorhynchus). Analysis of ethnic data revealed that the mtgenome of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was significantly give up responsibility the remaining five mtgenomes of Culex spp. Culex p. pipiens, Cx. p. pallens and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus made a monophyletic clade with Cx. p. quinquefasciatus connected in the middle of the clade, and Cx. p. pallens bear have the alike taxonomic level as Culex p. pipiens and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus.Cx. tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. p. pallens mtgenomes have the same deoxyribonucleic acid makeup and order as two additional Culex species. Culex p. pallens of the Pipiens complex bear be classified at the unchanging level as Culex p. pipiens and Cx. p. quinquefasciatus. We enhanced the Culex mtgenome dossier and settled a foundation for future Culex mtgenome sequencing and study.
