title: Molecular studies on intraspecific differentiation of Paramecium dodecaurelia, with description of new stands of the species (Protozoa, Ciliophora).
abstract: New stands of Paramecium dodecaurelia were found in Russia, Ukraine, Kazahstan, Poland, and Tenerife. Molecular studies (RAPD and sequencing of LSU rRNA and CO1 mtDNA gene fragments) of P. dodecaurelia strains depicted intraspecific polymorphism within the species, revealed as distinct differences between strains from the USA in comparison with strains from different regions of the Palearctic.
