In a survey of seven species of wild rodents (n = 423) collected between October 1993 and March 1994 from the three principal ecological biomes of North Carolina (USA), we found hantavirus antibodies in seven (2%) of 301 Peromyscus spp. Hantavirus antibodies were detected in P. leucopus and P. maniculatus captured from mountain and coastal island biomes. Three mice were positive for Sin Nombre virus, while four others had antibodies to Seoul virus or a related agent. Two mice serologically positive for Sin Nombre virus were collected from inside a private mountain domicile. We conclude that the risk of human exposure to hantaviruses in North Carolina resembles that for most other areas of the continental United States.
在1993年10月至1994年3月期间从美国北卡罗来纳州的三个主要生态生物群落收集的七种野生啮齿动物（n = 423）的调查中，我们在301只白足鼠属动物中的7只（2%）身上发现了汉坦病毒抗体。从山区和沿海岛屿生物群落捕获的白足鼠和鹿鼠中检测到了汉坦病毒抗体。三只小鼠辛诺柏病毒呈阳性，另外四只对汉城病毒或相关病原体有抗体。从山区一个私人住宅内收集到两只辛诺柏病毒血清学阳性的小鼠。我们得出结论，北卡罗来纳州人类接触汉坦病毒的风险与美国大陆其他大多数地区相似。
