本條目介紹的是名为小鼠属的属。關於名为小鼠（Mus musculus）的物种，請見“小家鼠”。關於动物实验用小鼠，請見“实验小鼠”。小鼠屬（学名：Mus）也稱鼠屬、鼷鼠属，是啮齿目鼠科的一属，当中最常見的是小家鼠（Mus musculus）。牠幾乎在所有的國家都能找到，例如在生物學研究中作為模式生物(Model organism)的實驗鼠。也是受人們喜愛的寵物之一。除本属外，一些小型鼠类如仓鼠科的美國白足鼠（Peromyscus leucopus) 和鹿鼠（Peromyscus maniculatus）有時會棲息於房屋中，這些鼠通常和人們一起生活。實驗室的基因剔除鼠物種小鼠屬共有30種，列表如下[1]：东洋界小鼠亚属（英语：Coelomys） Coelomys 鼩小鼠（英语：Mus crociduroides） Mus crociduroides：苏门答腊西部斯里兰卡小鼠（英语：Mus mayori） Mus mayori：斯里兰卡锡金小鼠 Mus pahari：印度东北部至柬埔寨西南部及越南北部爪哇小鼠（英语：Mus vulcani） Mus vulcani：爪哇西部小鼠亚属（英语：Mus (subgenus)） Mus 印度小鼠（英语：Mus booduga） Mus booduga：巴基斯坦、印度、斯里兰卡、孟加拉、尼泊尔南部、缅甸中部田鼷鼠 Mus caroli：琉球群岛、台湾、华南至泰国，被引入至马来西亚与印尼西部褐小鼠（英语：Mus cervicolor） Mus cervicolor：印度北部至越南，被引入至苏门答腊及爪哇库氏小鼠（英语：Mus cookii） Mus cookii：印度东北部及南部、尼泊尔至越南塞浦路斯小鼠（英语：Mus cypriacus） Mus cypriacus：塞浦路斯南印小鼠（英语：Mus famulus） Mus famulus：印度西南部泰国小鼠（英语：Mus fragilicauda） Mus fragilicauda：泰国及寮国南斯拉夫小鼠（英语：Mus macedonicus） Mus macedonicus：巴尔干半岛至以色列及伊朗小家鼠（小鼠、家鼷鼠） Mus musculus：引入至世界各地缅甸鼷鼠（英语：Mus nitidulus） Mus nitidulus：缅甸中部匈牙利小鼠（英语：Mus spicilegus） Mus spicilegus：奥地利至乌克兰南部及希腊地中海小鼠（英语：Mus spretus） Mus spretus：法国南部，伊比利亚半岛，巴利阿里群岛，摩洛哥至突尼斯土色小鼠（英语：Mus terricolor） Mus terricolor：印度、尼泊尔、孟加拉、巴基斯坦；被引入至苏门答腊非洲小鼠亚属（英语：Nannomys）

Article

The genus Mus or typical mice refers to a specific genus of muroid rodents, all typically called mice (the adjective "muroid" comes from the word "Muroidea", which is a large superfamily of rodents, including mice, rats, voles, hamsters, gerbils, and many other relatives), though the term can be used for other rodents. They are the only members of the tribe Murini.
