Entre os mamíferos mais amplamente distribuídos e numerosos da Terra, os camundongos domésticos originaram-se no sul da Ásia e acompanharam a civilização humana por todos os continentes, exceto a Antártida. Pesando apenas 15–25 g, são onívoros altamente adaptáveis capazes de sobreviver com mínima quantidade de comida e água. Como o animal de laboratório mais comumente utilizado no mundo, o camundongo doméstico (Mus musculus) contribuiu para praticamente todos os ramos da pesquisa biomédica. Causam danos agrícolas significativos em nível global.
