    • Rockport virus (RKPV) is a single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA orthohantavirus.


      Natural reservoir


      Rockport virus was first isolated in archival tissues of four Eastern moles found in and around Rockport, Texas.


      Virology


      Phylogenetic analysis shows Rockport virus clusters geographically with Andes virus (ANDV) and Sin Nombre virus (SNV), both of which are carried by sigmodontine and Neotominae rodents. It shares the same S and the L genomic-segment with Puumala virus (PUUV), Tula virus (TULV), and Prospect Hill virus (PHV).
