Interand intraspecific variation of fruit bats of the genus Rousettus in Iran were examined. Morphometric analyses of 7 external and 21 craniodental characters of material from southeast Iran showed that two species are found there, R. aegyptiacus and R. leschenaultii. Phylogenetic trees inferred from Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analyses of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) marker revealed that R. aegyptiacus populations are divided into five lineages and the Iranian population clustered with the Middle East samples. The result showed very low genetic variation between different populations of R. leschenaultii throughout its range in the Palaearctic and Indo-Malayan realms.

检查了伊朗Rousettus属的果蝠的种间和种内变异。对伊朗东南部物质的7种外部和21种颅齿特征进行形态计量学分析后发现，在那里发现了两个物种，埃及伊蚊和R. chenchenii。根据贝叶斯推论和线粒体细胞色素b（cyt b）标记的最大似然分析推断的系统发生树显示，埃及埃及人种群分为五个谱系，伊朗种群与中东样本聚集在一起。结果表明，在古北和印度马来亚地区，整个范围内的莱氏梭菌的不同种群之间的遗传变异非常低。
