Outbreak of an Emerging Recombinant of Myxoma Virus ha-MYXV in European Brown Hares (Lepus europaeus) in Austria. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Myxomatosis, caused by the myxoma virus (MYXV), is a severe disease primarily affecting European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), with very high case fatality rates. Historically, MYXV was introduced to Europe and Australia in the 1950s to control rabbit populations, becoming endemic and undergoing genetic adaptations.

The Eastern cottontail ( Sylvilagus floridanus ) in Tuscany (Central Italy): weak evidence for its role as a host of EBHSV and RHDV

Hystrix the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2019
During the last few decades native European hares (Lepus europaeus) have declined in Central and Northern Italy. Despite this trend having multiple causes, it was hypothesized that invasive Eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus) contributed to the decline through apparent competition and disease transmission.

Detection and Characterisation of The 'A' Variant of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHDVa, GI.1a) Over a Decade (2013-2023) in Italy. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Since the 1980s, highly pathogenic and hepatotropic Lagovirus species have significantly impacted rabbit populations, including Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV, genotype GI.1), its variant RHDVa (genotype GI.1a), and RHDV type 2 (RHDV2, genotype GI.2).

Overcoming species barriers: an outbreak of Lagovirus europaeus GI.2/RHDV2 in an isolated population of mountain hares (Lepus timidus)

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Prior to 2010, the lagoviruses that cause rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hare syndrome (EBHS) in hares (Lepus spp.) were generally genus-specific.

Polarisation of major histocompatibility complex II host genotype with pathogenesis of European Brown Hare syndrome virus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A study was conducted in order to determine the occurrence of European Brown Hare Syndrome virus (EBHSV) in Denmark and possible relation between disease pathogenesis and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) host genotype.

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 Research
The 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 ...

Domestic European Rabbits <i>Oryctolagus cuniculus</i>: A Super-Highway for the Spread of Emergent Viral Diseases to Other Lagomorphs? [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
We propose that the worldwide spread of several viral diseases in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is facilitated by domestic rabbit meat production and associated international trade. This view is based on published records of the transfer of rabbit haemorrhagic disease viruses (RHDV/RHDV2) between countries and supported by data from the Food

Influence of Host and Landscape-Associated Factors in the Infection and Transmission of Pathogens: The Case of Directly Transmitted Virus in Mammals. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The figure shows the effects (increasing upward arrow or decreasing downward arrow) the most common host traits, landscape attributes, climatic features and anthropogenic variables recorded in the review had on the infection and transmission of directly transmitted virus to mammals.

Field and experimental data indicate that the eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) is susceptible to infection with European brown hare syndrome (EBHS) virus and not with rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) virus [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2015
The eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) is an American lagomorph. In 1966, it was introduced to Italy, where it is currently widespread. Its ecological niche is similar to those of native rabbits and hares and increasing overlap in distribution ...

Pathological and serological insights into Lagovirus diseases dynamics in the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus): A nine-year longitudinal study. [PDF]

Veterinary Microbiology
The European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV; GII.1) and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2; GI.2) are pathogenic lagoviruses affecting the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus). EBHSV/GII.1 causes periodic epidemics, while RHDV2/GI.2 infections
