Eco‐physiological arguments on the functional impact of Lepus timidus mitochondrial DNA introgression in Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis)

Journal of Zoology, 2023
Genetic exchanges between species provide valuable opportunities to dissect the relative importance of neutral and selective processes driving introgression events and to test their functional relevance. In the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, the

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.

Effect of Myxoma Virus Species Jump on Iberian Hare Populations [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
The myxoma virus species jump from European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) to Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) has raised concerns. We assess the decline suffered by Iberian hare populations on the Iberian Peninsula and discuss the association between

Widespread presence of novel gammaherpesviruses in lagomorph species (Oryctolagus cuniculus, Lepus spp. and Ochotona alpina) [PDF]

Virology Journal
Background Gammaherpesviruses co-evolve with their hosts, resulting in species-specific associations and restricted host tropism. In lagomorphs, six herpesviruses (LeHV-1 to LeHV-6) have been identified, with LeHV-4 being associated with mortality in ...

Spillover event of recombinant Lagovirus europaeus/GI.2 into the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis) in Spain.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021
Viruses that affect lagomorphs have decades of reported history of spillover events. One of these viruses are the causative agents of the so-called rabbit or "lagomorph" haemorrhagic disease (e.g., Lagovirus europaeus/GI.1 and L. europaeus/GI.2).

A pathological study of Leishmania infantum natural infection in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis).

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2019
In this study, we describe the pathology of Leishmania infantum infection in naturally infected wild Leporidae and compare diagnosis of infection using histopathology, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) assay, immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT), and ...

Helminth Communities of an Introduced Hare (Lepus granatensis) and a Native Hare (Lepus europaeus) in Southern France [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007
We investigated the parasite communities of introduced Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) and native European hares (Lepus europaeus) in southern France, where Iberian hares were introduced locally 20 yr ago as a game animal. Parasite communities of sympatric populations of the two hare species and of allopatric populations of European hares were ...

Domestic European Rabbits <i>Oryctolagus cuniculus</i>: A Super-Highway for the Spread of Emergent Viral Diseases to Other Lagomorphs? [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
We propose that the worldwide spread of several viral diseases in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is facilitated by domestic rabbit meat production and associated international trade. This view is based on published records of the transfer of rabbit haemorrhagic disease viruses (RHDV/RHDV2) between countries and supported by data from the Food

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.
