  abstract = {{W}e determined the complete sequence of the mitochondrial {DNA} (mt{DNA}) of a parasite discovered between the subcutaneous tissue and the peritoneum of an {A}frican nocturnal non-human primate ({NHP}). {T}he parasite and host sequences were obtained by a combination of {S}anger sequencing and nanopore {M}in{ION} techniques. {A}nalyses of mt{DNA} gene arrangements and sequences unambiguously showed that the parasite investigated was the pentastomid {A}rmillifer armillatus, also commonly named the tongue worm. {T}he full-length mitochondrial genome of {A}. armillatus, measuring 16,706 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal {RNA} genes, and 22 transfer {RNA} genes, an arrangement identical to that of previously described pentastomid mitochondrial genomes. {W}e describe here the second full mitochondrial genome of {A}. armillatus to date. {T}o identify the {NHP} host, maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses of a 441-bp fragment on the 12{S} r{DNA} gene and of a 1,140-bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b strongly support clustering with the {A}frican lorisid {P}erodicticus potto, a species that has rarely been reported as an intermediate host of this parasite.},
