Characterization of the fragmented mitogenome of the European badger louse Trichodectes melis reveals conserved organization in non-coding regions

Abstract Mitochondrial genome fragmentation is widespread in lice but remains poorly understood, with molecular data still scarce for many ectoparasitic species, particularly those associated with wild hosts. Here, we characterize the complete mitochondrial genome of Trichodectes...
