ABSTRACT
Anisakis simplex is a zoonotic disease-causing parasitic nematode belonging to the Anisakidae family. In this study, the nematode samples of A. simplex were collected from rockfish Sebastes sp. From the comparison and analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Anisakis simplex, the results revealed a full-length genome with 13,903 bp, including 12 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs. There was no encoding gene of atp8, which was consistent with the genome characteristics of Anisakis nematodes. Additionally, 25 related nematodes belonged to 5 different families served as study subjects for the construction of phylogenetic trees.
