我们分析了鸟类血液原生动物，卡氏住白细胞虫染色体外基因组。其中一个基因组，线粒体基因组被完全测序，长度为5，959 bp。该基因组包含与先前分析的其他鸟类血液原生动物相同的基因组织和内容：细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I，III和细胞色素B的三个功能基因，以及以下不连续和乱序的15个核糖体亚基RNA基因。此外，线粒体基因组估计具有串联重复结构，以及以前在鸟类疟原虫物种中发现的。此外，我们还发现了另一个染色体外基因组顶质体DNA的部分基因序列。caulleryi。这些序列估计为部分酪蛋白溶解蛋白酶C和延伸因子Tu A基因。本文首次报道了两个L. caulleryi。
We analyzed extra chromosomal genomes of avian blood protozoa, Leucocytozoon caulleryi. One of the genomes, the mitochondrial genome was completely sequenced resulting 5,959 bp in length. This genome contained the identical gene organization and contents to that of other avian blood protozoa previously analyzed: three functional genes for cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, III, and cytochrome b with following sets of discontinuous and scrambled 15 ribosomal subunit RNA genes. In addition, the mitochondrial genome was estimated to have the tandem repeated structure as well as previously found in avian Plasmodium species. Furthermore, we found partial gene sequences of apicoplast DNA, another extra chromosomal genome, from L. caulleryi. These sequences were estimated as partial caseinolytic protease C and elongation factor Tu A genes. This report is the first description of two extra chromosomal genomes of L. caulleryi.
