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 ...

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.

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 Dis
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).

The Adaptive Significance of Tail-Flagging: A Test in European Rabbits (<i>Oryctolagus cuniculus</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
European rabbits use their white tails to warn others of danger and ward off predators, revealing the dual function of a single animal signalling behaviour. Using both field observations and phylogenetic analyses, we show that tail‐flagging may alarm other rabbits before escape and deter predators during escape.

Impact of myxomatosis on densities of Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) in North-western Spain: implications for management and sustainable hunting

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
Outbreaks of myxomatosis in Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were detected for the first time in Spain in 2018. The disease spread to a significant proportion of the species range, negatively affecting the hare populations.

Characterisation of the historic demographic decline of the British European polecat population [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT The European polecat (Mustela putorius) has a widespread distribution across many countries of mainland Europe but is documented to be declining within these ranges. In Britain, direct persecution led to a severe decline of the polecat population during the 19th century. Unlike European mainland populations, it is now recovering across much of

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 ...

BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE RABBITS MYXOMATOSIS VIRUS STRAIN «Mixo/ARRIAH-18»

Ветеринарная патология, 2022
We studied the biological properties of the myxomatosis virus Mixo/ARRIAH-18 strain in cultivated on a transplantable RK-13. The cell culture was grown as a monolayer on tissue culture flasks. The aim of the research was to standardize the conditions for

Humoral immune response to different routes of myxomatosis vaccine application

World Rabbit Science, 2018
The aim of our study was to monitor the dynamics of the serological response to different application routes of live attenuated myxomatosis vaccine. The study included 42 Californian breed rabbits, aged 3 mo, of both sexes.
