EcosphereInfectious diseases can cause considerable mortality in vertebrate populations, especially when a new pathogen emerges. Quantifying the impact of diseases on wild populations and dissecting the underlying mechanisms requires longitudinal individual ...

Emergence of Recombinant Myxoma Virus in Algerian Farmed Rabbits: Molecular and Phylogenetic Evidence. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisMyxomatosis 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.

Enrichment and Reduction of Microsatellite Regions in the Myxoma Virus Genome Following Species Jump to the Iberian Hare (<i>Lepus granatensis</i>). [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisMyxoma 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).

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

Hair corticosterone concentration as a potential stress marker in pet rabbits
Veterinary Record, Volume 193, Issue 9, 4/11 November 2023., 2023 Abstract Background As a prey species, rabbits tend to hide their illnesses and injuries. Consequently, pet rabbit owners often do not notice that their pet may be suffering. Methods Data on the housing and health of 34 dwarf rabbits were collected from a total of 22 rabbit owners.

Science and sacrifice: the pioneering journey of Dora Lush
Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 101, Issue 10, Page 911-915, November/December 2023., 2023 In this article celebrating the 100‐year anniversary of ICB, we acknowledge Miss Dora Lush who, although never attaining a PhD, made ground‐breaking discoveries in infectious disease, in a career cut abruptly short as she tragically sacrificed her life to the science she was investigating.

Social licence to cull: Examining scepticism toward lethal wildlife removal in cities
People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1353-1363, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The public may sometimes resist orders to cull wildlife, even when these pose a biosecurity threat. Managers and researchers desire to know why this is so. Research overwhelmingly focuses on the role of the species in conditioning resistance but our approach also shows the circumstances, settings, people responsible and methods used that ...

Veterinary Record, Volume 192, Issue 1, 7/14 January 2023., 2023 Abstract 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. Method The aim of this study was to evaluate the main lesions, tissular distribution and target cells of ha‐MYXV in Iberian hare.

Monitoring of Hepatitis E Virus in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen in Europe. Even though swine species are considered the main host of the zoonotic HEV‐3 genotype, rabbits are recognized as the main reservoir of the divergent HEV‐3ra subtype. However, the role of wild lagomorphs in the epidemiology of this virus in Mediterranean ecosystems is under debate.

Studies in the epidemiology of infectious myxomatosis of rabbits: V. Changes in the innate resistance of Australian Wild rabbits exposed to myxomatosis [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1958 Annually for 4 years groups of young Australian wild rabbits have been captured during non-epizootic periods from areas in which myxomatosis has occurred during the previous summer. The intensity of the preceding epizootic was measured by testing a sample of survivors for antibody.
