Genome sequencing identifies “Limestone Canyon virus” as Montaño virus (Hantaviridae: Orthohantavirus montanoense) circulating in brush deermice in New Mexico by Samuel M. Goodfellow, Robert A. Nofchissey, Valerie J. Morley, Kathryn E. Coan, Kurt C. Schwalm, Joseph A. Cook, Jonathan L. Dunnum, Diane Hanfelt-Goade, Darrell L. Dinwiddie, Daryl B. Domman, Jerry W. Dragoo, Jens H. Kuhn, Steven B. Bradfute

“…Phylogenetic analysis of these combined data revealed geospatial clades and overall identity of “LSCV”, uncovering its association with the classified Montaño virus (MTNV), which is known to infect Aztec and Orizaba deermice in central Mexico. Our work emphasizes the importance of determining coding-complete viral genome sequences as a framework for rigorous virus classification as the basis for epidemiological studies.…”
