Rhipicephalus cf. camicasi from Saudi Arabia sequencing

Rhipicephaus camicasi was originally described from camels in Ethiopia and it thought to be distributed in Africa, Arabian Peninsula and Mediterranean region. It belongs to the Rhipicephalus sanguineus species complex. The species identity of R. camicasi has been ambiguous because of the morphological inconsistency and absence of reference DNA sequences. In the present study, the entire mitochondrial genome of R. cf. camicasi (~15kb) from Saudi Arabia collected from a camel was sequenced. The current study delivers molecular reference for material that resembles R. camicasi and was collected from camel the type host of R. camicasi. We propose to consider the current material including the complete mitochondrial genome as reference for R. camicasi.
