Genetic diversity of the honeybee in Africa: microsatellite and mitochondrial data

A total of 738 colonies from 64 localities along the African continent have been analysed using theDraI RFLP of the COI±COII mitochondrial region. Mitochondrial DNA of African honeybeesappears to be composed of three highly divergent lineages. The African lineage previously reported(named A) is present in almost all the localities except those from north-eastern Africa. In […]
