Oligoryzomys longicaudatus, also known as the long-tailed colilargo[2] or long-tailed pygmy rice rat,[1] is a species of rodent in the genus Oligoryzomys of family Cricetidae. It is found in the southern Andes of Chile and Argentina, with an outlying population in eastern Argentina.[1] Its karyotype has 2n = 58 and FNa = 74.[3] O. longicaudatus is the principal reservoir host of Andes virus (ANDV), which causes most cases of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in South America.[4]
