Comparative analyses of the complete mitochondrial genomes of the two filarial worms Wuchereria bancrofti & Brugia malayi with Caenorhabditis elegans

Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi are the filarial worms belonging to phylum Nematoda cause lymphatic filariasis (LF) disease in humans. W. B. Wolbachia dependent organisms while C. elegans is free living independent nematode. In order investigate conserved regions present mitochondrial genome of these organisms, complete (mt) genomes having size 13,636 bp 13,657 length, respectively compared with (13794 bp). These mt were similar each other respect their size, AT content encode same 12 PCGs (nad1–6, nad4L, cytb, cox1–3, atp6). Complete alignment identified 13 some unique only one organism. Phylogenetic analysis using showed a close relationship between but common early ancestor emphasizing an evolutionary divergence.
