Ranges and trap stations of hantavirus antibody–positive Peromyscus boylii during high and low population densities. Each web covered 3.1 ha. Trap stations within ranges were occupied by antibody-negative and antibody-positive mice at various times. High densities represent 13 months (June 1995 to June 1996), and low densities represent 13 months (September 1996 to September 1997).
