Strain Origin:

In 1926, the Rockefeller Institute in the United States introduced albino mice from Switzerland and bred them into the Swiss mouse strain.

On March 17, 1944, Professor Tang Feifan introduced Swiss mice from the Hoffkine Institute in India and raised them at the Kunming Central Epidemic Prevention Station. Because the mice were initially introduced in Kunming, they are called Kunming mice.

Vital River introduced this strain multiple times from the National Rodent Laboratory Animal Resource Bank in 2012, 2018, and 2022.
