Peromyscus maniculatus
''Peromyscus maniculatus'' is a rodent native to North America. It is most commonly called the deer mouse, although that name is common to most species of ''Peromyscus'', and thus is often called the North American deermouse〔Bowers, Nora; Rick Bowers; and Kenn Kaufman (2004). ''Kaufman Guide to North American Mammals.'' NY: Houghton-Mifflin Co. p.176.〕 and is fairly widespread across the continent, with the major exception being the southeast United States and the far north.
Like other ''Peromyscus'' species, it is a vector and carrier of emerging infectious diseases such as hantaviruses and Lyme disease.
It is closely related to ''Peromyscus leucopus'', the white-footed mouse.
==Overview==
The scientific name for a deer mouse is ''Peromyscus''.〔The New Encyclopædia Britannica. 2007. (Vol. 12, p. 631). Chicago: Encyclopædia Britannica.〕 The species has 66 subspecies.〔Hanney, Peter W. Rodents: Their Lives and Habits. New York: Taplinger Publishing Company, 1975.〕 They are all tiny mammals that are plentiful in number.〔 The deer mouse is described as a small rodent that lives in the Americas and is closely related to the white-footed mouse, ''Peromyscus leucopus''.〔 Because the two species are extremely similar in appearance, they are best distinguished through red blood cell agglutination tests or karyotype techniques. The deer mouse can also be distinguished physically by its long and multicolored tail. Deer mice are very often used for laboratory experimentation due to their self cleanliness and easy care.〔
