The complete M segment sequences of hantaviruses amplified from tissues of
a patient with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the northeastern United
States and from white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus, from New York were
99% identical and differed from those of Four Corners virus by 23%. The
serum of this patient failed to recognize a conserved, immunodominant
epitope of the Four Corners virus G1 glycoprotein. Collectively, these
findings indicate that P. leucopus harbors a genetically and antigenically
distinct hantavirus that causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
