The mitochondrial genome of the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum)

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015
Amblyomma americanum is an abundant tick in the southeastern, midwestern, and northeastern United States. It is a vector of multiple diseases, but limited genomic resources are available for it. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of a single female A. americanum collected in Georgia using the Illumina platform. The consensus sequence was 14,
