Retrospective serological and molecular survey of myxoma or antigenically related virus in the Iberian hare, Lepus granatensis [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2022 The 2018 outbreak of myxomatosis in the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) has been hypothesized to originate from a species jump of the rabbit-associated myxoma virus (MYXV), after natural recombination with an unknown poxvirus. Iberian hares were long considered resistant to myxomatosis as no prior outbreaks were reported.

Range expansion underlies historical introgressive hybridization in the Iberian hare. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractIntrogressive hybridization is an important and widespread evolutionary process, but the relative roles of neutral demography and natural selection in promoting massive introgression are difficult to assess and an important matter of debate. Hares from the Iberian Peninsula provide an appropriate system to study this question.

The helminth community of the Iberian hare, Lepus granatensis (Lagomorpha: Leporidae), in the province of Granada, Spain [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2014 Abstract The helminth community of the Iberian hare, Lepus granatensis, in the southern Spanish province of Granada was analysed, thorough the study of 487 individuals shot by hunters between November 1998 and October 1999. Six helminth species were found: Mosgovoyia pectinata (Cestoda); Trichostrongylus retortaeformis, Nematodiroides

Myxoma virusjumps species to the Iberian hare [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2019 The study of myxoma virus (MYXV) infections in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has produced one of the most accepted host-pathogen evolutionary models. To date, myxomatosis has been limited to the European rabbit with sporadic reports in hares.

Reproduction parameters of the Iberian hare Lepus granatensis at the edge of its range [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2008 Abstract In order to provide a basis for the sustainable exploitation of the heavily hunted Iberian hare Lepus granatensis, we compared its reproductive parameters at the northern edge of its range, where it occurs at low densities, with those reported in other studies elsewhere within the species' range. Monthly samples totalling 212

Impact of myxomatosis on densities of Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) in North-western Spain: implications for management and sustainable hunting [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2022 Outbreaks of myxomatosis in Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were detected for the first time in Spain in 2018. The disease spread to a significant proportion of the species range, negatively affecting the hare populations.

Multiple genomic ancestries in the broom hare mark the complex biogeographic history of hares in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
EvolutionAbstract Pleistocene climatic fluctuations have often driven range shifts and hybridization among related species, leaving present-day genomic footprints. In the Iberian Peninsula, repeated and transient post-glacial contacts among hare species have left extensive mitochondrial DNA traces, but the genomic correlates and underlying ...

Detection of RHDV strains in the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis): earliest evidence of rabbit lagovirus cross-species infection. [PDF]
Vet Res, 2014 Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a highly lethal Lagovirus, family Caliciviridae, that threatens European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Although a related virus severely affects hares, cross-species infection was only recently described for new variant RHDV in Cape hares (Lepus capensis mediterraneus).

The mitochondrial genome sequence of Manchurian Hare (Lepus mandshuricus) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. ResourcesThe Manchurian hare (Lepus mandshuricus) is widely distributed in eastern Russia and northeastern China, but due to limited research, its taxonomic status remains somewhat ambiguous. The mitochondrial genome of the Manchurian hare was 16,705 bp in length,
