摘要非洲麻蝇是一种重要的医学和法医学昆虫，隶属于麻蝇科。具有重要法医学意义的Sarcophaga属的物种鉴定是困难的，需要强大的形态和分类学专业知识。随着测序技术的改进，我们首次报道了南非非洲的完整线粒体基因组，以辅助物种鉴定。在15,144个 碱基的环状基因组中发现了37个基因，其中包括13个蛋白质编码基因，22个转移核糖核酸基因和2个核糖体核糖核酸基因。这些基因的排列与其他发现的昆虫有很大的相似之处。A、G、C和T的总碱组成分别为39.43%、9.64%、14.61%和36.31%。非洲南部完整的线粒体基因组对丰富双翅目昆虫线粒体基因组具有重要价值，并有助于昆虫学家在昆虫学鉴定或系统发育分析中筛选可靠的分子标记。
Abstract Sarcophaga africa (S. africa) is a significant medical and forensic insect which belongs to the Sarcophagidae. The species identification of the forensically important genus Sarcophaga is difficult and requires strong morphology and taxonomic expertise. With the sequencing technique improved, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the S. africa for the first time to assist species identification. The 37 genes presented in the 15,144 bp circular genome has been found which include 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The array of the genes has much resemblance with other discovered insects. The overall base compositions of A, G, C and T are 39.43%, 9.64%, 14.61% and 36.31% respectively. The complete mitochondrial genome of S. africa could be valuable to enriching the Dipteran mitochondrial genomes and be helpful for entomologists to screen reliable molecular markers in the species identifications with forensic entomology purposes or phylogenetic analysis.
