Abstract

Triatoma dimidiata is a species complex, and its members are responsible for the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. We present the assembly and annotation of the mitogenome of the Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811) and Triatoma huehuetenanguensis Lima-Cordón & Justi, 2019. The mitochondrial genomes were successfully sequenced using the Illumina Nextseq 500 platform, 2×75 cycles, and 5 million reads per sample. Contigs were assembled and annotated using the reference genomes of T. dimidiata and T. huehuetenanguensis available in Genbank (NC_002609 and NC_050325.1, respectively). The mitogenomes of T. dimidiata have lengths of 17,008 bp, while those of T. huehuetenanguensis are 15,910 bp and 15,909 bp. The genome comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The mitogenomes will be valuable to scholars and students focused on integrative taxonomy, phylogeography, and evolutionary studies of the Triatoma dimidiata complex and the transmission of Chagas diseases.
