Abstract
The two rodent intraarterial nematodes Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus costaricensis can cause human illhealth The present study aimed to characterize and compare the mitochondrial mt genomes of these two species and clarify their phylogenetic relationship and the position in the phylum Nematoda The complete mt genomes of A cantonensis and A costaricensis are 13497 and 13585 bp in length respectively Hence they are the smallest in the class of Chromadorea characterized thus far Like many nematode species in the class of Chromadorea they encode 12 proteins 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNAs All genes are located on the same strand Nucleotide identity of the two mt genomes is 816 ranging from 777 to 871 in individual gene pairs Our mt genomewide analysis identified three major gene arrangement patterns II1 II2 and II3 from 48 nematode mt genomes Both patterns II1 and II2 are distinct from pattern II3 which covers the Spirurida supporting a closer relationship between Ascaridida and Strongylida rather than Spirurida Thymine T was highly concentrated on coding strands in Chromadorea but balanced between the two strands in Enoplea probably due to the gene arrangement pattern Interestingly the gene arrangement pattern of mt genomes and phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated amino acids indicated a closer relationship between the order Ascaridida and Rhabditida rather than Spirurida as indicated in previous studies These discrepancies call for new research reassessing the position of the order of Ascaridida in the phylogenetic tree Once consolidated the findings are important for population genetic studies and target identificationThis work was supported by a grant from the International Society for Infectious Diseases 2007 SL is the recipient of a PhD fellowship from the “Stipendienkommission für Nachwuchskräfte aus Entwicklungsländern” from the Canton of BaselStadt Switzerland
