The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Chicken Body Louse, <i>Menacanthus cornutus</i>, and Evolutionary Patterns of Extensive Gene Rearrangements in the Mitochondrial Genomes of Amblycera (Psocodea: Phthiraptera)

Animal mitochondrial (mt) genomes are typically double-strand circular DNA molecules, but diverse structural variations have been widely found in multiple groups. In parasitic lice (Phthiraptera), the structure of mt genomes varies remarkably across all five suborders. In this study, we reported the...
