Zoonotic Microsporidia in Wild Lagomorphs in Southern Spain

Animals, 2020
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular protist-like fungal pathogens that infect a broad range of animal species, including humans. This study aimed to assess the presence of zoonotic microsporidia (Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Encephalitozoon intestinalis,

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

Detection of Recombinant Hare Myxoma Virus in Wild Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus algirus)

Viruses, 2020
In late 2018, an epidemic myxomatosis outbreak emerged on the Iberian Peninsula leading to high mortality in Iberian hare populations. A recombinant Myxoma virus (strains MYXV-Tol and ha-MYXV) was rapidly identified, harbouring a 2.8 kbp insertion ...

Taxonomic and functional fingerprints in the gut microbiota of Iberian hare populations (Lepus granatensis) inhabiting areas with organic and conventional farming.

Environmental Pollution
Intensive farming leading to landscape homogenization and massive use of pesticides is threatening biodiversity associated with agricultural landscapes. Pesticides may alter the composition of gut microbiota, which contributes critically to a variety of ...

Estimating the diagnostic performance of serological assays for emerging pathogens using a Bayesian approach: Myxoma virus in the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis).

Preventive Veterinary Medicine
Validated diagnostic tools are essential when conducting serological surveys. However, reliable tests are scarce and hard to attain for emerging pathogens due to the lack of reference tests or samples.

Detection of Porcine Circovirus 3 in Wildlife Species in Spain

Pathogens, 2020
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) is the third member of the family Circoviridae, genus Circovirus, able to infect swine. A high prevalence of viral DNA has been recorded in wild boars. Recently, PCV-3 DNA was identified in Italian wild ruminants.

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.
