COMPLETE MITOCHONDRIAL GENOMES OF CULICOIDES BREVITARSIS AND CULICOIDES IMICOLA BITING MIDGE VECTORS OF BLUETONGUE VIRUS

Complete mitochondrial genomes of Culicoides brevitarsis and Culicoides imicola biting midge vectors of Bluetongue Virus

Biting midges (Culicoides spp.) are important vectors of several insect borne arboviruses but are underrepresented in terms of availability of high-resolution genomic resources.We assembled and annotated complete mitochondrial genomes for two Culicoides species, namely C.brevitarsis and C.imicola which are proven vectors for Bluetongue Virus (BTV).
