Megjegyzések:	Myanmar harbours the second largest population of the endangered Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). To date, however, only few Myanmar elephants have been analysed genetically. We aimed at closing this gap by performing the so far most comprehensive such analysis on 78 working elephants from two adjacent camps based on mtDNA control region sequences and 11 nuclear microsatellite loci. Heterozygosity was comparatively low (overall HO and HE of 0.55 and 0.59, respectively) but mtDNA diversity was high (overall haplotype and nucleotide diversities of 0.89 and 0.011, respectively), due largely to the presence of both mitochondrial lineages (alpha and beta) known to occur in Asian elephants. The fact that 13 of the 23 haplotypes found in this study were novel emphasizes the importance of Myanmar for the conservation of this endangered species. Both markers yielded evidence for a single panmictic population in the region. Demographic tests produced some indication of a recent bottleneck in the microsatellite dataset, but the mtDNA sequences did not show either a signature of recent expansion or bottlenecks. The relative frequencies of the two haplogroups were distinctly biased towards the beta-clade, which may not be in line with the previous hypothesis that Myanmar is the geographic origin of the alpha-clade.
