Résumé
Ophidascaris species are parasitic roundworms that inhabit the python gut, resulting in severe granulomatous lesions or even death. However, the classification and nomenclature of these roundworms are still controversial. Our study aims to identify a snake roundworm from the Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus) and analyze the mitochondrial genome. We identified this roundworm as Ophidascaris baylisi based on the morphology and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) sequence. Ophidascaris baylisi complete mitochondrial genome was 14,784 bp in length, consisting of two non-coding regions and 36 mitochondrial genes (12 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes). The protein-coding genes used TTG, ATG, ATT, or TTA as start codons and TAG, TAA, or T as stop codons. All tRNA genes showed a TV-loop structure, except trnS1
