*Parameters used in the analyses were medium segment, gamma shape 0.29, proportion of invariable sites 0.18; small segment, gamma shape 0.59, proportion of invariable sites 0.38. Sequence comparisons were conducted by using MEGA version 4.0 (www.megasoftware.net) and Modelgenerator (http://bioinf.may.ie/software/modelgenerator). JUQ, Juquitiba; NA, not available.
†Identity for the JUQ-like clade.
‡Distance between the JUQ-like clade and several South American hantavirus lineages, under the general time reversible + gamma + proportion invariant model.
