Figure 1. . Locations of 14 arenavirus-positive Neotoma rodent collections. San Juan County, southeastern Utah = N. cinerea and N. mexicana (one virus-positive animal each species); Cimarron County, western Oklahoma = N. albigula (2); McKinley County, northwestern New Mexico = N. albigula (2); Socorro County, central New Mexico = N. mexicana (3); Dimmit and La Salle counties (Chaparral Wildlife Management Area), southern Texas = N. micropus (5). The map inset shows the location of study area.
