Domestic European Rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus: A Super‐Highway for the Spread of Emergent Viral Diseases to Other Lagomorphs? [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.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

Emerging RHDV2 suppresses the impact of endemic and novel strains of RHDV on wild rabbit populations [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020 Abstract Multi‐strain, host‐disease dynamics describe a system where multiple strains of a pathogen compete for susceptible individuals of a single host. The theoretical properties of these systems have been well studied, but there are few empirical studies in wildlife hosts.

RHDV2 epidemic in UK pet rabbits. Part 2: PCR results and correlation with vaccination status [PDF]
Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 487-493, August 2020., 2020 Objective To report PCR results and vaccination status of rabbits with rabbit haemorrhagic disease following an investigation into sudden or unexpected death. Materials and Methods PCR testing for RHDV2 and RHDV1 was performed on rabbit liver samples at two laboratories.

Specific Detection of RHDV GI.1 and GI.2 by RT‐LAMP‐CRISPR/Cas12a Platform [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Rabbit hemorrhagic disease is a highly contagious and acute fatal disease caused by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). The first outbreak of RHDV2 in 2020 has posed a serious threat to the rabbit breeding industry in China. An effective and specific detection strategy for RHDV GI.1 (RHDV1) and GI.2 (RHDV2) is urgently needed.

An RT‐qPCR Assay from Rectal Swabs for the Detection of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 in Natural Cases [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2 or Lagovirus europaeus GI.2) is spreading across North America. This has enabled submissions of lagomorphs for testing to veterinary diagnostic laboratories (VDLs). The liver is currently the gold‐standard sample type for testing by RT‐qPCR.

Lagovirus europaeus GI.2/RHDV2 (Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus 2) [PDF]
, 2018 Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) was first detected in 1984 and quickly spread among wild and domestic European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) throughout the world. RHD and European brown hare syndrome (EBHS), a related disease of hares (Lepus spp.), are caused by pathogenic lagoviruses of the Family Caliciviridae.

A novel vaccine candidate against rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) confers protection in domestic rabbits [PDF]
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2022 Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy of a novel vaccine against rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) in domestic rabbits. ANIMALS 40 New Zealand White rabbits obtained from a commercial breeder. PROCEDURES Rabbits were vaccinated and held at the production facility for the duration of the vaccination phase and transferred to Colorado ...

Comparative analysis of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and new RHDV2 virus antigenicity, using specific virus-like particles [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2015 In 2010 a new Lagovirus related to rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) emerged in France and has since rapidly spread throughout domestic and wild rabbit populations of several European countries. The new virus, termed RHDV2, exhibits distinctive genetic, antigenic and pathogenic features.

The impact of integrating rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (K5) release with pindone baiting on wild rabbit populations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.This study quantified the impact of the release of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus K5 (RHDV K5, K5 hereafter) and pindone baiting at 13 sites within Cudlee Creek fire scar in the Adelaide Hills region, South Australia. K5 release had minimal impact on rabbit populations, whereas a reduction in rabbit counts post‐pindone baiting was observed at most ...
