Inbred Strains
of Mice: CASA
Inbr. F?+33 (1989). Mus musculus castaneous wild mice trapped in Thailand
by J.T. Marshall, to Chapman, then Roderick and Eicher in 1971.Resistant
to flavivirus, unlike most laboratory mice except C3H.RV (
Sangster et al 1993). Low retinal ganglion cell number
(3/24) (
Williams et al, 1996)
