The ecological roles of the European rabbit in the Magellanic/Fuegian ecosystem of southernmost Chile [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe European rabbit has invaded numerous ecosystems worldwide, but rarely steppes. Since its various introduction attempts into the ecosystems of the Magallanes/Fuegian region, the rabbit has become a key player, interacting with species at different ...

European Rabbits as Reservoir for Coxiella burnetii [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 We studied the role of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) as a reservoir for Coxiella burnetii in the Iberian region. High individual and population seroprevalences observed in wild and farmed rabbits, evidence of systemic infections, and vaginal ...

The remnant of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) IgD gene. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Although IgD first appeared, along with IgM, in the cartilaginous fishes and has been retained throughout subsequent vertebrate evolution, it has been lost in a diverse group of vertebrate species. We previously showed that, unlike vertebrates that express IgD, the rabbit lacks an IgD (Cδ) gene within 13.5 kb downstream of the IgM gene.

A large-scale assessment of European rabbit damage to agriculture in Spain. [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2018 BACKGROUND Numerous small and medium-sized mammal pests cause widespread and economically significant damage to crops all over the globe. However, most research on pest species has focused on accounts of the level of damage.

The impact of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cunniculus) on forest trees [PDF]
Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, 2000 Author(s): Whelan, John | Abstract: The rabbit is the most important mammalian pest of forest trees in Ireland. Damage can occur at all times of the year but the most severe damage has been reported in the late winter/spring period. Damage includes browsing to the leaders and side shoots and bark stripping.

Evidence for widespread positive and purifying selection across the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) genome. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2012 The nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution predicts that the efficacy of both positive and purifying selection is a function of the long-term effective population size (N(e)) of a species. Under this theory, the efficacy of natural selection should

Endogenous hepatitis C virus homolog fragments in European rabbit and hare genomes replicate in cell culture. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2012 Endogenous retroviruses, non-retroviral RNA viruses and DNA viruses have been found in the mammalian genomes. The origin of Hepatitis C virus (HCV), the major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in humans, remains ...

Dorsal Branches of Abdominal Aorta in the Rabbit and the European Hare [PDF]
Folia Veterinaria, 2016 Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the anatomical arrangement of the branches arising from the dorsal surface of the aorta abdominalis in the rabbit and the hare. The study was carried out on ten adult rabbits and ten adult European hares using the corrosion technique.
