Natal dispersal in the European wild rabbit
Animal Behaviour, 1996Abstract Natal dispersal of European wild rabbits,Oryctolagus cuniculus, was studied in a 2-ha outdoor enclosure between 1988 and 1990. The rabbit population had been established in 1984 and by 1988 it was structured into nine territories. The enclosure conditions allowed detailed study of dispersal of individual juveniles from their natal ...

Patterns of parasite aggregation in the wild European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
International Journal for Parasitology, 2001Understanding the factors controlling the distribution of parasites within their host population is fundamental to the wider understanding of parasite epidemiology and ecology. To explore changes in parasite aggregation, Taylor's power law was used to examine the distributions of five gut helminths of the wild rabbit.

Ethophysiological responses to overwinter food shortage in wild European rabbits
Physiology & Behavior, 1993Wild European rabbits studied under seminatural conditions turned out to have about 30% lower heart rates during periods of overwinter food shortage than during periods with access to green forage or pelleted rabbit chow. Concomitant changes in the animals' metabolic rate (ADMR), body weight, blood sugar level, and foraging activity clearly indicate ...

Burrow types of the European wild rabbit in southwestern Spain
Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 2011Burrows play an essential role for the European wild rabbit. They provide shelter, a safe breeding place and protection against climatic extremes. However, little is known about burrow structure and the environmental factors influencing it. In this work we analyse the structure of rabbit burrow tunnels in southwestern Spain and search for structural ...

Encephalitozoon cuniculi in wild European rabbits and a fox
Research in Veterinary Science, 1979Three wild rabbits (Oryctolagu.s cunieiilus) and a fox (Vitlpcs wipes) were found to be infected with Encephalilozoon cuniculi by the indian ink immunoreaction. This is the first record of the disease in these animals.

Markers for Measuring Bait Consumption by the European Wild Rabbit
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1984Poison baiting has proved to be a successful method for the control of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in some parts of the world, particularly Australia and New Zealand, and the possibility of developing a method appropriate for use in Britain is now being investigated.

IMPACT OF VIRAL HEMORRHAGIC DISEASE ON A WILD POPULATION OF EUROPEAN RABBITS IN FRANCE
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1998An outbreak of rabbit viral hemorrhagic disease (RVHD) and of myxomatosis occurred in a free-living population of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) near Paris (France) in 1995. Annual mortality rates were 88% in adults and 99% in juveniles. There was no difference in mortality rates between males and females.

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2022
European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are affected by rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD), which is caused by a lagovirus responsible for significant mortality in European wild rabbit populations. Our study aimed to evaluate the potential for detecting viral RNA by duplex real-time PCR in rabbit fecal pellets collected in the field, as a noninvasive ...

Ecological Modelling, 2001
We developed an individual-based model of Rabbit Viral Hemorrhagic Disease (RVHD) for European wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.), representing up to 1000 rabbits in four hectares. Model output for productivity and recruitment matched published values. The disease was density-dependent and virulence affected outcome.

Hepatitis E virus in wild rabbits and European brown hares in Germany
Zoonoses and Public Health, 2017SummaryRecently, a change of hepatitis E from being a typical travel‐associated disease to an autochthonous zoonosis in Germany was observed. An increasing number of autochthonous infections with the hepatitis E Virus (HEV) have been recognized in developed countries. Venison from wild boar is already known to be a potential source of infection, if not
