An analysis of the polymorphism of seven microsatellite loci and an assessment of the haplotype diversity of the mtDNA <i>tRNAleu-COII</i> locus were performed. A fragment of about 431 bp in <i>tRNAleu-COII</i> was sequenced. The analysis showed the presence of 14 haplotypes, while the predominant haplotype was Japan1. Microsatellite data revealed two differentiated clusters. The first cluster contained tropical climate <i>A. cerana</i> samples from Vietnam, and the second cluster combined temperate climate <i>A. cerana</i> samples from the Russian Far East and South Korea.InsectsGenetic Structure of <i>Apis cerana</i> Populations from South Korea, Vietnam and the Russian Far East Based on Microsatellite and Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism.PMC978454119-54-70002Kaskinova MIlyasov RKwon HWThai PHGaifullina LSaltykova ELelej AfalseGenetic Structure of <i>Apis cerana</i> Populations from South Korea, Vietnam and the Russian Far East Based on Microsatellite and Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism.In this article, we present the results of the genetic analysis of <i>Apis cerana</i> samples from the Russian Far East, South Korea and Vietnam.
