Abstract:
Although Mus caroli is being used in a number of laboratories as an experimental animal, basic information concerning its life span, reproductive ability, and age-related pathologies has been unavailable. Here we present this basic information, and discuss the similarities to and differences from the laboratory mouse, Mus musculus domesticus [strains A/StTrWo and (A/StTrWo x C57BL/6NNia)F1] and, from published data, wild-type Mus musculus.
