Abstract

We report Sin Nombre virus (SNV) genome sequences in the northwestern United States, including SNV sequences recovered from montane voles. Analysis of samples collected from 189 individual rodents revealed high SNV prevalence in the region and evidence of virus reassortment or coinfection, highlighting ongoing virus diversification in rodents.
