Mitochondrial genome organization of five Eimeria species (Apicomplexa; Eimeriidae) infecting turkeys, Meleagris gallopavo (Aves; Galliformes). Transcriptional direction and order of the three coding regions for CytB, COI and COIII (direction indicated by arrowed end) are identical to those of other Eimeria species. Fragments of LSU rDNA (lower LSU labels), SSU rDNA fragments (upper SSU labels) and unassigned RNA7 (lower label) were found in regions outside of the protein-coding genes. Naming of ribosomal DNA fragments follows the convention of Feagin et al. (2012, Table 1).
