Identification and Characterisation of a Myxoma Virus Detected in the Italian Hare (Lepus corsicanus) [PDF]

Viruses
Myxoma virus (MYXV) is a Leporipoxvirus (genus) belonging to the family Poxviridae; it is characterised by a genome of approximately 161 kb dsDNA encoding for several proteins that play an essential role in both host spectrum determination and ...

Toxoplasmosis in the European brown hare: pathology, strain genotyping and population exposure within the Iberian distribution range

European Journal of Wildlife Research
The European brown hare (Lepus europaeus), widely distributed across Eurasia, is a key prey species for many vertebrates. Toxoplasma gondii, a globally distributed zoonotic protist, can infect all homoeothermic animals, including lagomorphs.

Impact of myxomatosis on densities of Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) in North-western Spain: implications for management and sustainable hunting

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.

Pathological changes and viral antigen distribution in tissues of Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) naturally infected with the emerging recombinant myxoma virus (ha-MYXV).

The Veterinary Record, 2022
BACKGROUND A cross-species jump was confirmed in 2018, when a novel recombinant myxoma virus (MYXV) (ha-MYXV) caused high mortality in Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) in the Iberian Peninsula.

Past, present and future distributions of an Iberian Endemic, Lepus granatensis: ecological and evolutionary clues from species distribution models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The application of species distribution models (SDMs) in ecology and conservation biology is increasing and assuming an important role, mainly because they can be used to hindcast past and predict current and future species distributions.

The Dynamics of Lepus granatensis and Oryctolagus cuniculus in a Mediterranean Agrarian Area: Are Hares Segregating from Rabbit Habitats after Disease Impact?

Animals, 2022
The genera Oryctolagus and Lepus (order Lagomorpha) are essential elements in the trophic chain in the Iberian Peninsula, being the main prey of many predators, including some highly endangered predators such as the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus ...

Iberian hares with anciently introgressed mitochondrial DNA express a marginal environmental niche [PDF]

Journal of Biogeography, 2021
AbstractAimThe role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in local adaptation has been thoroughly debated, and the ancient pervasive mtDNA introgression from Lepus timidus into Lepus granatensis allows testing of this hypothesis. Here, we study the environmental niche of animals with introgressed mtDNA, to gain insights about the potential selective pressures ...

A Versatile qPCR for Diagnosis of Leporid Gammaherpesvirus 5 Using Evagreen^® or Taqman^® Technologies

Viruses, 2021
In late 2019, the first herpesvirus in the genus Lepus, named leporid gammaherpesvirus 5 (LeHV-5) was described. At the time, herpetic typical lesions were observed in hares infected by the myxoma virus, which is known to induce immunosuppression. Though
