The variability of the cytochrome b gene in 11 individuals of Korean field mouse from the Ussuri Nature Reserve located on the southern spurs of the Sikhote-Alin in the Przewalski Mountains has been analyzed. In the population, a high level of genetic diversity was identified owing to the discovery of individuals with haplotypes of three phylogenetic lineages, i.e., Amur, Korea, and Manchuria. The majority of individuals (72.73%) in the population had Amur haplotypes. A significantly lower frequency of occurrence of individuals with Korea haplotypes in the Ussuri Nature Reserve (9.09%) compared to the previously analyzed population of the Khasansky district (38.46%) located in the very south of the Primorsky krai was noted. In the Ussuri Nature Reserve, for the first time in the Russian Far East, two individuals with Manchuria haplotypes were discovered. Previously, only one finding of an individual with a similar haplotype was noted in the literature in the Heilongjiang province of Northeast China. It was suggested that individuals with haplotypes of the Korea phylogroup penetrate into the south of Sikhote-Alin from South Korea and with haplotypes of the Manchuria phylogroup from Northeast China.
