Popis: The complete mitogenome sequences of the intestinal fluke Fasciolopsis buski are presented for the first time in this study. It is 14,119 bp long and is thus the shortest trematode mitochondrial genome sequenced to date. The F. buski mtDNA genome has a close resemblance with F. hepatica and has a similar gene order tallying with that of other trematodes. The overall base composition of F. buski mitogenome is 17.89% for A, 9.16% for C, 27.59% for G and 45.36% for T, and has a GC content of 36.75%. The assembled mitogenome (GenBank accession number {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"KX449331","term_id":"1134928928","term_text":"KX449331"}}KX449331) consists of 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosomal RNA genes. The mtDNA for the intestinal fluke reported herein would help investigate Fasciolidae taxonomy and systematics with the aid of mtDNA NGS data.
