Subsequently, 1 strain of RIOMV was isolated from O. microtis rats in Peru, designated HTN-007 (2); and 2 strains were recovered in the Brazilian Amazon from O. microtis rats (RIOMV-3) and uncharacterized species of rodents of the genus Oligoryzomys (RIOMV-4) (3). Recently, HPS cases associated with RIOMV have been reported: 2 cases in Peru (4) and 1 case in French Guiana (caused by a variant named Maripa virus) (5).
