Abstract
To estimate the haplotype diversity of red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) from Balkan Peninsula, а fragment of cytochrome b (427 bp) was analyzed. In the investigated red deer from Bulgaria (16 individuals) 6 haplotypes were revealed. In the comparative analyses were included 32 sequences (15 from GenBank and 17 our samples from different locations of Cervus elaphus area). As outgroup we used a sequence C. e. xanthopygus. Four Bulgarian red deer haplotypes were closely related to other European haplotypes, when two other haplotypes formed a separate branch, encompassing also two samples from Sardinia and Tunisia. Thereby, our results indicated an existence in Bulgaria at least two different genetic lines of red deer.
