First evidence of recombinant Myxomavirus (ha-MYXV) in European hare (Lepus europaeus) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia [PDF]
Recombinant myxoma virus (ha-MYXV) is an important causative agent of a fatal disease affecting hares (Lepus spp.). It was first identified in the Iberian Peninsula in 2018 and it subsequently spread to Western Europe during 2023–2024.

Use of thermal imaging to collect fresh faeces for non-invasive evaluation of stress levels in the European hare (Lepus europaeus) [PDF]
Assessing long-term stress in wild animal populations is extremely complicated and, in some species, practically impossible due to the complexity of sampling.

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]
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 ...

The low survival rate of European hare leverets in arable farmland: evidence from the predation experiment [PDF]
The low survival rate of leverets may significantly contribute to steep population declines and slow recovery of European hares (Lepus europaeus). However, the leveret survival rate in farmlands with different landscape structures is poorly understood ...

Endoparasites of the European hare (Lepus europaeus) (Pallas, 1778) in central Italy [PDF]
Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations in Europe have declined through decades due to several, but not clear yet, factors. Parasite infections and diseases are some of the causes that directly affected the survival and breeding rates of animal ...

Age and spatial effects of Eimeria spp. infections in European hare (Lepus europaeus) killed by vehicle collisions [PDF]
Risk factors for Eimeria infections are well documented in farm and pet animals, but studies focusing on wildlife species are less common. This research aimed to investigate the impact of selected demographic and environmental factors on the prevalence ...

European brown hare syndrome in wild European brown hares from Greece [PDF]
From 1999 to mid-2003, 97 European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) found dead throughout Greece were examined by necropsy, histopathology, and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the presence of European brown hare syndrome (EBHS ...

Simultaneous detection of classic and natural recombinant myxoma virus strains in European brown hare population in West Hungary [PDF]
Historically, Myxomatosis was a severe disease in the European wild and domesticated rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with only a few reported cases in hares. Recently, beside the classic myxoma virus strains, new natural recombinant strains have emerged.
