Environmental Factors Determinate Roadkill Levels of the Endemic Iberian Species, Iberian Hare (Lepus Granatensis) [PDF]

, 2021
Lepus granatensis is an Iberian Peninsula endemic species and one of the most important small game species. We surveyed Iberian hare-vehicle accidents in roads network in southern Spain, analysing the Mediterranean landscape, the main habitats of this ...

Emergence of Recombinant Myxoma Virus in Algerian Farmed Rabbits: Molecular and Phylogenetic Evidence. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Myxomatosis is a severe viral disease of lagomorphs that has recently seen the emergence of a recombinant myxoma virus (MYXV). Data from Africa remain scarce. Here we report the first confirmed detection and genomic characterization of a recombinant MYXV in Algeria.

The First Confirmed Outbreak of Recombinant Myxomatosis Virus in the Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus P.) Population in Hungary. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
We investigated the emergence and spread of the ha‐MYXV (recombinant myxoma virus) in the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) population in Hungary. During PCR genetic analysis of 37 samples collected between October 7 and 28, 2025, at the beginning of the outbreak, we found recombinant myxoma virus DNA in 89.2% of the samples, which are the first known ha ...

Francisella tularensis in Wild Lagomorphs in Southern Spain’s Mediterranean Ecosystems [PDF]

Animals
Francisella tularensis is a vector-borne zoonotic bacterium that causes tularemia, a disease of great importance for animal and public health. Although wild lagomorphs are considered one of the major reservoirs of this bacterium, information about the ...

Coinfections of Novel Polyomavirus, Anelloviruses and a Recombinant Strain of Myxoma Virus-MYXV-Tol Identified in Iberian Hares [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
Viruses are ubiquitous in nature; however, very few have been identified in the Leporid species. In the fall of 2018, an outbreak of myxomatosis in Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) was reported in Spain and a novel recombinant myxoma virus strain (MYXV ...

The mitochondrial genome sequence of Manchurian Hare (Lepus mandshuricus) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
The 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,

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice-Age Refugium. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

Genetic characterization of a recombinant myxoma virus leap into the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2019
Myxomatosis is a lethal disease of wild European and domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) caused by a Myxoma virus (MYXV) infection, a leporipoxvirus that is found naturally in some Sylvilagus rabbit species in South America and California.

Exposure to Coxiella burnetii in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems [PDF]

Animals
Coxiella burnetii is an important zoonotic pathogen of worldwide distribution that can infect a wide range of wild and domestic species. The European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) can play a role as a reservoir for this bacterium in certain ...

Multiple genomic ancestries in the broom hare mark the complex biogeographic history of hares in the Iberian Peninsula.

Evolution
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 has left extensive
