摘要: Honeybee populations in Cote d'Ivoire have been previously identified as belonging to one subspecies, Apis mellifera scutellata, but other studies have since reported a mixed population consisting of A. m. adansonii and A. m. jemenitica. The population structure and the geographic distribution of honeybees in Cote d'Ivoire remain unclear. This study aimed to profile the population structure of honeybees and their biogeography in Cote d'Ivoire. A total of 33 honeybee colonies were sampled from 15 localities to investigate the maternal ancestry of indigenous honeybee populations using the DraI COI-COII mtDNA test. The results revealed that the honeybee population in Cote d'Ivoire is composed of African haplotypes, all belonging to the A(I) sublineage. Haplotypes A(1) and A(4) were recorded with five new sequence variants, including three types of haplotype A(1) and two types of haplotype A(4). The A(1e) variant was the most frequent in the A. m. adansonii distributional area. The distribution of the haplotype variants was correlated with the climate pattern in Cote d'Ivoire. This is the first study in Cote d'Ivoire that gives insights into the biogeography and mitotype structure of the local honeybee populations.
