Final aligned sequences of 519 bp in the mtDNA D-loop gene were obtained. Fourteen unique haplotypes were identified from the 16 populations of 106 individuals.
The sequences have been submitted to the GenBank (accession numbers KF051071 to KF051084).
Low within population nucleotide diversity, π (0.000 to 0.006) was observed in all populations while haplotype diversity, h, was in the range of very low to moderate in each locality
(h = 0.000 to 0.833).
Number of haplotypes and polymorphic sites per population ranged from 1 to 8 (Table 2).
Trend of low intrapopulation variability was also supported by the genetic distances observed based on Kimura-2 parameter (Table 3).
