Natural reservoir
Nova virus was first isolated in European moles (Talpa europaea) found in Hungary and France. Previously it was believed that rodents were the principal reservoir hosts, but field trapping has discovered hantavirus species in insectivore bats, shrews, and moles (Soricidae and Talpidae).[2]
