A number of laboratory strains have been established (Oda et al., 1985). Much of the present distribution is the result of human agency (Hutterer and Tranier, 1990). A clear allocation of all listed taxa to subspecies is not possible at this moment. Kitchener et al. (1994 b) discussed subspecies in the Sunda Isls and recognized murinus, muelleri and seramensis as distinct. However, they did not consider names such as edwardsiana from S Philippines that may have priority.

Asian House Shrews are monogamous. Before breeding, females construct nests in crevices or under piles of rubbish in some little-frequented storeroom. Breeding season varies geographically: seasonally or throughout the year, and one peak or two peaks per year, probably depending on monsoon season and temperature. Gestation usually lasts 30 - 31 days, and litters have 1 - 8 young. Lactation lasts c. 14 days, and weaning occurs at 15 - 20 days. Young starts to grow visible body fur within a few days after birth and are fully furred by the tenth day. Eyes do not open until 14 - 15 days old. Caravanning behavior is observed 1 - 3 weeks after birth, where a train or caravan is formed by holding firmly with their mouths onto the tail or hindquarters of their mother or littermate. Presumably, when the mother encounters something edible, she indicated this to the clinging young that break the caravan and fall upon the food. In the wild, the Asian House Shrew generally does not live beyond one year.","source":"Soricidae","sourceTaxonKey":197840514},{"key":463498264,"taxonKey":2435520,"type":"conservation","language":"eng","description":"Status and Conservation.
