Abstract

In this study, we report the basic characteristics of the cattle tick mitochondrial genome, including structural organization and base composition of the rRNAs, tRNAs and protein-coding genes. The total length of the mitogenome was 14,901 bp and its overall base composition was estimated to be 38.8% for A, 40.8% for T, 11.3 % for C, 9.1% for G, respectively, indicating an A-T(79.6 %)-rich feature in Rhipicephalus microplus mitogenome.
