Virus classification
Group:	Group V ((−)ssRNA)
Order:	Unassigned
Family:	Bunyaviridae
Genus:	Hantavirus
Species:	Muleshoe virus

Muleshoe virus (MULEV) is a novel, single-stranded, enveloped, negative-sense RNA hantavirus.

Muleshoe virus was isolated from two cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) in Deaf Smith County, Texas in 1995 following a fatal case of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in a child. The field investigation yielded the novel Muleshoe virus. The source of HPS in the child was determined to be Sin Nombre virus.

The complete genomic sequence was determined for MULEV and found to be phylogenetically closest in structure to Bayou virus.
