Abstract

As a cryptic species complex, the taxonomy of Echinococcus granulosus has long been controversial. The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the E. granulosus G3 genotype was sequenced and characterized. The G3 mt genome was 13,607 bp in length, and contained 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 12 protein-coding genes, with a gene order identical to those of other reported genotypes. The overall nucleotide composition (coding strand) for the mt genome sequence of G3 was 19.1% A, 47.8% T, 25.0% G, and 8.1% C, with T being the most common base and C the least common.
