Cluster analysis ( Fig. 2 ). Constructed dendrogram by hierarchical cluster analysis divides the sampling localities into two main clusters, which further split into sub-clusters. The first sub-cluster includes Ardebil, West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan and Isfahan. The second one is separated into two branches, including (1) Mazandaran, Guilan, Golestan, Tehran and Boyer-Ahmad and (2) Khorasan and Khuzestan on another branch. Fars Province is not included in either of the two major clusters ( Fig. 2 ).
