Potential role of wolf ( Canis lupus ) as passive carrier of European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV) [PDF]
Research in Veterinary Science, 2018 European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV) was detected in a faecal swab collected from a wolf carcass in Northern Italy. The full-length genome of the EBHSV WOLF/17/2016/ITA strain was determined. In the VP60 capsid gene, the wolf strain displayed the highest genetic identity (99.2-99.1% nucleotide and 99.6-99.7% amino acid) with two EBHSV strains ...

Serological characterisation of Lagovirus virus-like particles originating from native and mutated VP60 of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 and European brown hare syndrome virus [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary ResearchSince lagoviruses cannot be cultivated in vitro, using expression systems is an alternative and promising way of producing diagnostic viral antigens. It opens up their use as active immunogens for vaccine production.

Molecular evolution and antigenic variation of European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV)
Virology, 2014 European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV) is the aetiological agent of European brown hare syndrome (EBHS), a disease affecting Lepus europaeus and Lepus timidus first diagnosed in Sweden in 1980. To characterize EBHSV evolution we studied hare samples collected in Sweden between 1982 and 2008.

Recombination between non-structural and structural genes as a mechanism of selection in lagoviruses: The evolutionary dead-end of an RHDV2 isolated from European hare [PDF]
Virus ResearchThe genus Lagovirus, belonging to the family Caliciviridae, emerged around the 1980s. It includes highly pathogenic species, rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV/GI.1) and European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV/GII.1), which cause fatal hepatitis ...

Population density, roads and altitude influences on spatial distribution of hares positive to EBHSV
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2018 Abstract Understanding of the ecology of infected animals facilitates disease risk assessment and is also crucial for wildlife conservation. Relatively little is known about the spatial distribution of infected wild mammals in relation to environmental factors.

Large-scale lagovirus disease outbreaks in European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) in France caused by RHDV2 strains spatially shared with rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2017 Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a lagovirus that causes rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). In 2010, a new genotype called RHDV2 emerged in France. It exhibits a larger host range than classical RHDV

Widespread occurrence of the non-pathogenic hare calicivirus (HaCV Lagovirus GII.2) in captive-reared and free-living wild hares in Europe. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg Dis, 2021 Abstract The Lagovirus genus comprises both pathogenic viruses as European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV‐ GII.1) and rabbit hemorrhagic disease viruses (RHDV‐GI.1 and RHDV2‐GI.2), that principally infect European brown hares (Lepus europeaus) and European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), respectively, causing severe necrotic hepatitis, spleen ...
