This study presents the first molecular evidence of Macrovipera razii from central Zagros, more than 300 km north-west of its prior records in southern Iran. Molecular analyses based on mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences identified the individuals from central Zagros as a lineage of M. razii. Specimens from the new localities are separated by a genetic distance of 1.46% from the known populations of M. razii. The results extend the known distribution range of M. razii as an endemic species of Iran.

伊朗扎格罗斯地区中部出现大叶Macro蛇（Squamata，ii蛇科）的遗传证据

这项研究提供了来自扎格罗斯中部的第一份Macrovipera razii的分子证据，该区域位于伊朗南部先前记录西北方300多公里处。基于线粒体细胞色素b序列的分子分析将Zagros中部的个体鉴定为razii支原体。来自新地区的标本与已知的拉兹莫拉虫种群的遗传距离为1.46％。结果扩大了作为伊朗特有种的拉兹莫尔螺旋杆菌的已知分布范围。
