The study investigated the variability of the gene b (cyt b) in the Korean field mouse Apodemus peninsulae. In total, 13 samples of cytochrome gene fragments of mitochondrial DNA (744 bp) were analyzed from the Korean field mice population of the Land of the Leopard National Park (in south of Primorsky Krai). The study found that the population has two phylogenetic lines: Amur and Korea. Importantly, the Korea line was first recorded for the Russian Far East. The article discusses the coherence in the evolution of AMRV and the Korean field mouse as its reservoir host.
