Genome sequencing identifies “Limestone Canyon virus” as Montaño virus (Hantaviridae: Orthohantavirus montanoense) circulating in brush deermice in New Mexico

npj Viruses
Orthohantaviruses infect distinct eulipotyphlan and rodent reservoirs throughout the world; some rodent orthohantaviruses can cause disease in humans. In the United States, a primary rodent reservoir for the human-pathogenic Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the

Genetic Diversity and Distribution of Peromyscus-Borne Hantaviruses in North America

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
The 1993 outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the southwestern United States was associated with Sin Nombre virus, a rodent-borne hantavirus; The virus' primary reservoir is the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus).

The Role of Mammalian Reservoir Hosts in Tick-Borne Flavivirus Biology

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Small-to-medium sized mammals and large animals are lucrative sources of blood meals for ixodid ticks that transmit life-threatening tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFVs).

The genetic basis and fitness consequences of sperm midpiece size in deer mice

Nature Communications, 2016
Across species there are large changes in sperm morphology, yet how and why is unclear. Here, the authors show in Peromyscus mice, that the sperm midpiece length influences swimming speed and male fertility, and is regulated by cell-type specific ...

Novel Focus of Sin Nombre Virus in Peromyscus eremicus Mice, Death Valley National Park, California, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
The deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) is the primary reservoir for Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in the western United States. Rodent surveillance for hantavirus in Death Valley National Park, California, USA, revealed cactus mice (P.

Predation of nestling house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) by a dusky rattlesnake, Crotalus aquilus, in Hidalgo, Mexico

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2015
For the first time, a case of predation on a Haemorhous mexicanus nest by the dusky rattlesnake Crotalus aquilus is presented. The phenomenon of gluttony by this rattlesnake, which may have caused the death of the snake is also documented; since it had ...

A new species of Sigmodontinae (Rodentia) from the late Hemphillian of central Mexico, and comments on the possible radiation of this group

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2019
The Sigmodontinae subfamily represents one of the most diverse groups of mammals in the world; this rodent group evolved in the open and arid ecosystems of the Miocene of North America and was the most successful legion of mammals in the Great American ...
