Abstract
The S and M segments of a hantavirus, enzymatically amplified from tis sues of Cloudland deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus nubiterrae) captur ed during 1985 in West Virginia, diverged from strains of Four Corners virus from the southwestern United States by more than 16% and 6% at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively. Phylogenetic analy sis suggested that this virus strain (designated Monongahela) forms a possible evolutionary link between the Four Corners and New York hanta viruses.
