“…Interestingly, the origin of Malagasy is constructed by Southeast Asia and East Africa based on Y-chromosomal sequences [ 45 ]. On the other hand, the house mouse, Mus musculus , in Madagascar is similar to the Yemen linage, suggesting that the Madagascar lineage was introduced from Yemen in Arabian Peninsula [ 46 ]. The precise origin of R. rattus in Madagascar is still unclear, but it may be associated with the peopling of Madagascar from Southeast Asia and Indonesia [ 47 ].…”

Hantaviruses are harbored by multiple small mammal species in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. To ascertain the geographic distribution and virus-host relationships of rodent-borne hantaviruses in Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Madagascar, RNAlater™-preserved lung tissues of 981 rodents representing 40 species, collected in 2011–2017, were analyzed for hantavirus RNA by RT-PCR. Our data showed Hantaan orthohantavirus Da Bie Shan strain in the Chinese white-bellied rat (Niviventer confucianus) in Vietnam, Thailand; orthohantavirus Anjo strain in the black rat (Rattus rattus) in Madagascar; and Puumala orthohantavirus Hokkaido strain in the grey-sided vole (Myodes rufocanus) in Japan. The Hokkaido strain of Puumala virus was also detected in the large Japanese field mouse (Apodemus speciosus) and small Japanese field mouse (Apodemus argenteus), with evidence of host-switching as determined by co-phylogeny mapping.

“…DOM currently has a wide distribution covering Africa, Oceania and North and South America and can be easily introduced anywhere in the world (e.g., Gabriel et al 2011). Five distinct lineages of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) exist in M. musculus (Prager et al 1998;Sakuma et al 2016), three of which represent the three major subspecies groups of MUS, DOM and CAS and two of haplotypes from limited geographic areas in Nepal (Terashima et al 2006) and Yemen and Madagascar (Duplantier et al 2002), respectively. The three major subspecies lineages contain substantial levels of divergence within each of them.…”

The Eurasian house mouse Mus musculus is useful for tracing prehistorical human movement related to the spread of farming. We determined whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences (ca. 16,000 bp) of 98 wild-derived individuals of two subspecies, M. m. musculus (MUS) and M. m. castaneus (CAS). We revealed directional dispersals reaching as far as the Japanese Archipelago from their homelands. Our phylogenetic analysis indicated that the eastward movement of MUS was characterised by five step-wise regional extension events: (1) broad spatial expansion into eastern Europe and the western part of western China, (2) dispersal to the eastern part of western China, (3) dispersal to northern China, (4) dispersal to the Korean Peninsula and (5) colonisation and expansion in the Japanese Archipelago. These events were estimated to have occurred during the last 2000–18,000 years. The dispersal of CAS was characterised by three events: initial divergences (ca. 7000–9000 years ago) of haplogroups in northernmost China and the eastern coast of India, followed by two population expansion events that likely originated from the Yangtze River basin to broad areas of South and Southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Indonesia (ca. 4000–6000 years ago) and to Yunnan, southern China and the Japanese Archipelago (ca. 2000–3500). This study provides a solid framework for the spatiotemporal movement of the human-associated organisms in Holocene Eastern Eurasia using whole mtDNA sequences, reliable evolutionary rates and accurate branching patterns. The information obtained here contributes to the analysis of a variety of animals and plants associated with prehistoric human migration.

“…The mtDNA analysis revealed that the Yemeni house mouse mtDNA lineage forms a cluster of another potential subspecies, M. m. gentilulus (GEN), which is distinct from the three major subspecies (Prager et al ., 1998; Suzuki et al ., 2013). The mtDNA lineage in Madagascar constitutes a “narrow” monophyletic group, suggesting a recent and probably single origin (Duplantier et al ., 2002; Sakuma et al ., 2016). Suzuki et al (2013) further showed that the Madagascar-Yemen mitochondrial lineage was in the most basal place to M. musculus .…”

In Madagascar, the house mouse (Mus musculus) is thought to have colonized along with humans and is now one of the most successfully colonized rodents on the island. In this study, we determined the whole-genome sequences of the Madagascar house mouse captured from the wild. We examined the evolutionary history of its population regarding the mitochondrial and autosomal genomes. We confirmed that in the mitochondrial genomes of Madagascar house mice, a monophyletic clade forms a basal origin within the species. An analysis of autosomal genomic sequences indicates that the Madagascar house mouse population is genetically a member of M. m. castaneus (CAS). It also contains genetic elements of M. m. domesticus (DOM) resulting from ancient hybridization. The signature of a strong population bottleneck 1000-3000 years ago was observed in the mitochondrial and autosomal genomic data. We also show that the divergence of the Madagascar population from the CAS population occurred approximately 50,000-99,000 years ago. Madagascar house mice show strong genetic affinity to many CAS samples across a wide range of Indian Ocean coastal regions. However, our results suggest that they would not have originated directly from the Indonesian islands, where Austronesian-speaking people in Madagascar originated. Because the ancient hybridization signature with DOM did not appear in the Indonesian and other CAS samples, we propose that Madagascar house mice were not directly brought by Austronesian-speaking people but came from somewhere around the Middle East or South Asia soon after the colonization of initial farmers.
