Genetic identification of a novel hantavirus of the harvest mouse Reithrodontomys megalotis

B Hjelle et al. J Virol. 1994 Oct.

Abstract

We have cloned the S genomic segment of a novel hantavirus of the harvest mouse Reithrodontomys megalotis. The virus is phylogenetically distinct from other hantaviruses. The new hantavirus was identified in harvest mice separated by approximately 1,000 km. A wood rat (Neotoma mexicana) was found to be infected with the harvest mouse hantavirus.
