* = known human pathogens.

Figure 2. Geographic distribution of the deer mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus (shaded) (48).

Figure 3. Distribution of the corn mouse, Calomys musculinus (dots; 20), and disease-endemic area of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF) (shaded).

Figure 4. Schematic of mark-release-recapture grid in central Argentina. The green shaded areas are roadside (rows 1 and 2) and fence-line (column 7) habitats. Unshaded areas are crop fields. Intersections of dotted lines represent the 144 trap stations of the 12 x 12 trapping grid. The height of the flagpoles shows the cumulative numbers of corn mouse captures at each trap station of the 30-month sampling period. Red boxes are the locations of antigen-positive captures.
