Characterisation of a non-pathogenic and non-protective infectious rabbit lagovirus related to RHDV
The existence of non-pathogenic RHDV strains was established when a non-lethal virus named rabbit calicivirus (RCV) was characterised in 1996 in Italy. Since then, different RNA sequences related to RHDV have been detected in apparently healthy domestic and wild rabbits, and recently a new lagovirus was identified in Australia.

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) GI.2 has caused significant declines in the abundance of wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), contributing to the species being recently classified as “endangered” in its native range. The epidemiology of this virus is still poorly understood despite its relevance for domestic and wild rabbits.

Pathogen profiling of Australian rabbits by metatranscriptomic sequencing
Abstract Australia is known for its long history of using biocontrol agents, such as myxoma virus (MYXV) and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), to manage wild European rabbit populations. Interestingly, while undertaking RHDV surveillance of rabbits that were found dead, we observed that approximately 40% of samples were negative for RHDV.

Emergence of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 in China in 2020
The first outbreak of rabbit hemorrhagic disease induced by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (GI.2) in China. Abstract Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) is an acute fatal disease caused by the Lagovirus rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), which was first reported in 1984 in China.

Genetic heterogeneity of porcine enteric caliciviruses identified from diarrhoeic piglets [PDF]
Enteric caliciviruses (noroviruses and sapoviruses) are responsible for the majority of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in humans of all age groups. Analysis of the polymerase and capsid genes has provided evidence for a huge genetic diversity, but the ...

Atomic model of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus by cryo-electron microscopy and crystallography. [PDF]
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease, first described in China in 1984, causes hemorrhagic necrosis of the liver. Its etiological agent, rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), belongs to the Lagovirus genus in the family Caliciviridae.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare and severe disease, which, despite continuous advances in medicine, is still characterized by high mortality (65-85%). Very often, a liver transplant is the only effective treatment for ALF.

Adaptive changes in the genomes of wild rabbits after 16 years of viral epidemics
Abstract Since its introduction to control overabundant invasive European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), the highly virulent rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) has caused regular annual disease outbreaks in Australian rabbit populations. Although initially reducing rabbit abundance by 60%, continent‐wide, experimental evidence has since ...

RHDV2 epidemic in UK pet rabbits. Part 2: PCR results and correlation with vaccination status
Objective To report PCR results and vaccination status of rabbits with rabbit haemorrhagic disease following an investigation into sudden or unexpected death. Materials and Methods PCR testing for RHDV2 and RHDV1 was performed on rabbit liver samples at two laboratories.

Tracking the Origin of a Rabbit Haemorrhagic Virus 2 Outbreak in a Wild Rabbit Breeding Centre in Portugal; Epidemiological and Genetic Investigation [PDF]
As key prey, the wild rabbit downsize constitutes a major drawback on the endangered Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) re-introduction in the Iberia. Several captive breeding units mostly located in Alentejo, endeavour the wild rabbit repopulation of depleted
