Geographic distribution of Peromyscus mouse species represented in a serologic analysis of serum samples from experimentally infected peromyscine rodents. Pins indicate collection sites of colony founders: P. californicus (A), P. leucopus (B), P. maniculatus bairdii (C), P. maniculatus rufinus (D), P. maniculatus sonoriensis (E), and P. polionotus (F). Inset shows phylogenetic relationships with evolutionary distances estimated by Miller and Engstrom (5). Map adapted from Bedford and Hoekstra (6).
