^aThe numbers here show the location of recombination borders using the published serotype A mitochondrial genome (NC_004336) as a reference
^b-COX1 indicates that the left border of recombination is located either within the COX1 gene or in the intergenic region between ATP9 and COX1
^cCOX1- indicates that the right border of recombination is located either within the COX1 gene or in the intergenic region between COX1 and ATP8
^dCOX1 indicates that the border of recombination is located within the COX1 gene
