Protection against myxomatosis and rabbit viral hemorrhagic disease with recombinant myxoma viruses expressing rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus capsid protein [PDF]
Two myxoma virus-rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) recombinant viruses were constructed with the SG33 strain of myxoma virus to protect rabbits against myxomatosis and rabbit viral hemorrhagic disease. These recombinant viruses expressed the RHDV capsid protein (VP60).

Capsid gene divergence in rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus [PDF]
The emergence and rapid global spread of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) remains enigmatic despite two decades of study, largely due to the difficulties associated with modelling substitution processes of the RNA genome for phylogenetic inference. We used maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods to investigate rates of molecular evolution in the

Down the Rabbit Hole: Domestic Rabbit Owners’ Perceptions of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 [PDF]
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) is a highly contagious pathogen that infects wild and domestic rabbits and hares (lagomorphs). Globally, RHDV2 has resulted in substantial economic losses for commercial rabbit trade and caused wild lagomorph population declines.

Viral Genome-Linked Protein (VPg) Is Essential for Translation Initiation of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV). [PDF]
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), the causative agent of rabbit hemorrhagic disease, is an important member of the caliciviridae family. Currently, no suitable tissue culture system is available for proliferating RHDV, limiting the study of the ...

EFFICACY OF A NEW ISOLATE RABBIT HEMORRHAGIC DISEASE VIRUS VACCINE [PDF]
The present study was carried out to prepare and evaluate an inactivated vaccine from new isolate rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) virus that causes outbreaks in rabbit flocks vaccinated with commercially available vaccines.

Shared Human/Rabbit Ligands for Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus
To the Editor: Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a calicivirus of the genus Lagovirus that causes epidemics of an acute disease and mortality rates of 50%–90% among rabbits. The disease, which was first described in 1984, is characterized by hemorrhagic lesions, mainly affecting the liver and lungs 24–72 h after infection (1).

Confirmation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus in Free-living Rabbits from the Netherlands [PDF]
The number of free-living European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in the Netherlands has declined dramatically in recent years. Although rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) infection has been implicated as a possible cause of this decline, the definitive diagnosis has not been reported.
