摘要: Mitochondrial genomes provide new insights that help elucidating biological features, genetic evolution, and classification of protozoans. Theileria uilenbergi (T. uilenbergi), transmitted by Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis and H. longicornis, is considered as highly pathogenic to sheep and goats in China. This study reports and outlines features of its mitochondrial genome. The T. uilenbergi mitochondrial genome is a linear monomeric molecule of 6.0 kb length, which encodes three protein-coding genes named cytochrome c oxidase I (cox1), cytochrome b (cob), and cytochrome c oxidase III (cox3), as well as six large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene fragments, and ends in terminal inverted repeats (TIRs). The array structure and organization of the mitochondrial genome of T. uilenbergi is identical to that of T. parva. Phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acid sequences of cox1, cob, and cox3 genes suggests that T. uilenbergi is distantly related to the group of transforming Theileria species such as T. parva. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the phylogeny and evolution of the mitochondrial genome of piroplasms and provides useful information of diagnostic marker for T. uilenbergi.
