Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees of the small (S; panel A) and medium (M; panel B) segments of the hantavirus identified in this study in Peru (boldface) compared with segments of hantaviruses from throughout South America. Trees were generated by using MEGA5.2 software (www.megasoftware.net) with 2,000 bootstrap replicates. All viruses are shown relative to North American Sin Nombre virus (SNV; GenBank accession nos. L25784, L25783 [for M segment]). Hu39694 (AF028023 [M]) is also shown. TU
