Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle
Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 1, Page 25-37, May 2026.In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Colonization history of Majorca Island by the European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, and the Iberian hare, Lepus granatensis (Lagomorpha: Leporidae) [PDF]
, 2014 The Mediterranean islands have a long history of human-mediated introductions resulting in frequent replacements of their fauna and flora. Although these histories are sometimes well documented or may be inferred from paleontological studies, the use of ...

VirusesMyxoma virus (MYXV) is a leporipoxvirus that causes lethal disease in Leporids. Hares and rabbits belong to the Leporidae family and are believed to have had a common ancestor 12 million years ago.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.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 ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Myxoma virus (MYXV), the causative agent of myxomatosis, is endemic in wild populations of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). In 2018, the virus acquired four genes (M157L, M158L, M159L and M160L) from a yet unidentified source and gained the capacity to infect the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis).

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Myxomatosis, caused by the myxoma virus (MYXV), is a severe disease primarily affecting European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), with very high case fatality rates. Historically, MYXV was introduced to Europe and Australia in the 1950s to control rabbit populations, becoming endemic and undergoing genetic adaptations.

Virology JournalBackground 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 ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.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.
