Mus musculus domesticus, the Western European house mouse, is a subspecies of the house mouse (Mus musculus). Some laboratory mouse strains, such as C57BL/6, are domesticated from M. m. domesticus.[1]
Distribution
In Europe, M. m. domesticus lives in Western and Southern Europe, while another subspecies, the Eastern European house mouse (M. m. musculus) lives in Eastern and Northern Europe.[2] The area from Scandinavia to the Black Sea is a secondary hybrid zone for M. m. domesticus and M. m. musculus.[3] Habitats of M. m. domesticus also exist in the Middle East, Southern Asia, North Africa, North America, and some areas of Latin America and Oceania.[4]
Relations with humans
M. m. domesticus is harmful to humans because it can damage vegetation and field crops, impacting food sources. It is also one of many invasive species.[4][5]
