Abstract

Larvae of the sheep bot fly, Oestrus ovis (Linnaeus, 1758), cause cavitary myiasis in domestic and wild hosts, including man. The complete circular O. ovis mitogenome was assembled, which is 16,584 bp in length and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The phylogenetic tree of O. ovis and 13 related Oestridae species, with Sarcophaga tuberosa as outgroup, was built.
