Sequencing of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of <i>Pingus sinensis</i> (Spirurina: Quimperiidae): Gene Arrangements and Phylogenetic Implications

Despite several decades of intensive research on spirurine nematodes, molecular data on some of the main lineages are still absent, which makes taxonomic classification insufficiently resolved. In the present study, we sequenced the first complete mitogenome for the family Quimperiidae, belonging to...
