Range expansion underlies historical introgressive hybridization in the Iberian hare [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Introgressive 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.

Myxoma virus jumps 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.

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 ...

Long‐term patterns in Iberian hare population dynamics in a protected area (Doñana National Park) in the southwestern Iberian Peninsula: Effects of weather conditions and plant cover [PDF]
Integrative Zoology, 2017 The Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) is a widely distributed endemic species in the Iberian Peninsula. To improve our knowledge of its population dynamics, the relative abundance and population trends of the Iberian hare were studied in the autumns of ...

The Health and Future of the Six Hare Species in Europe: A Closer Look at the Iberian Hare
Lagomorpha Characteristics [Working Title], 2020 Although there are around 40 species of hares in the world divided into three different genera ( Lepus , Caprolagus , and Pronolagus ), only six species inhabit Europe, all belonging to genus Lepus .

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2022 Myxomatosis is an emergent disease in the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis). In this species, the disease is caused by a natural recombinant virus (ha-MYXV) identified for the first time in 2018 and has since been responsible for a large number of ...

First evidence of recombinant Myxomavirus (ha-MYXV) in European hare (Lepus europaeus) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceRecombinant 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.
