Mitochondrial Genomes of Citellophilus Tesquorum Fleas for Phylogenetic Analysis

Two complete mitochondrial genomes sequenced for subspecies Citellophilus tesquorum dzetysuensis and C. t. mongolicus using the Illumina NovaSeq platform. Comparative analyses were conducted with 33 publicly available flea mitochondrial genomes. Mingna Duan published the data on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic reconstruction based on comparative mitogenomic analysis
• Studying codon usage patterns and genomic evolution in Siphonaptera
• Taxonomic delimitation of flea subspecies based on genetic divergence
• Vector surveillance research using molecular evidence

Strengths

• Data includes two newly sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes
• Comparative analysis leverages 33 publicly available flea mitochondrial genomes
• The study establishes an integrative morphological and mitogenomic framework

Limitations

• Dataset is a single 1.6 MB DOCX file; scale is small
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
