East Asian hemoglobin type (Hbbp) in wild populations of the house mouse in Israel

Electrophoretic studies of hundreds of individuals showed that all wild populations of the house mouse in Israel are polymorphic for alleles Hbbd and Hbbp of the hemoglobin locus. No mouse carrying Hbbs was found. This finding contradicts the notion that Hbbp is limited to East Asian house mice.
