Rodents living near two fatal human cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in California were surveyed for evidence of hantavirus infection. Seventeen (15%) (14 Peromyscus maniculatus and one each of P. truei, Eutamias minimus, and Microtus californicus) of 114 rodents tested had evidence (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or polymerase chain reaction) of hantavirus infection. This suggests that Peromyscus mice, and P. maniculatus in particular, may be the reservoir for the virus causing this newly recognized disease in California, as previously reported for New Mexico and Arizona.
对生活在加利福尼亚州两起汉坦病毒肺综合征致死人类病例附近的啮齿动物进行了调查，以寻找汉坦病毒感染的证据。在检测的114只啮齿动物中，有17只（15%）（14只白足鼠，1只特鲁伊白足鼠、1只小金背黄鼠和1只加利福尼亚田鼠）有汉坦病毒感染的证据（酶联免疫吸附测定或聚合酶链反应）。这表明，白足鼠，尤其是曼iculatus白足鼠，可能是导致加利福尼亚州这种新发现疾病的病毒宿主，正如之前在新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州所报道的那样。
