Serological characterisation of Lagovirus virus-like particles originating from native and mutated VP60 of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 and European brown hare syndrome virus. [PDF]
Since lagoviruses cannot be cultivated in vitro, using expression systems is an alternative and promising way of producing diagnostic viral antigens. It opens up their use as active immunogens for vaccine production.

Characteristics of a new variant of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus – RHDV2 [PDF]
RHD (Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease) is an etiologic agent that causes viral haemorrhagic disease of rabbits, which is also referred to as rabbit plague. The desire to explore knowledge about this pathogen in the world results not only from its similarity ...

Surveillance of Wildlife Viruses: Insights from South Australia's Monitoring of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV GI.1 and GI.2). [PDF]
Surveillance of wildlife virus impacts can be passive or active. Both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, especially regarding cost and knowledge that can be gained.

Spillover events of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (recombinant GI.4P-GI.2) from Lagomorpha to Eurasian badger [PDF]
Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a major threat to domestic and wild European rabbits. Presently, in Europe, the disease is caused mainly by Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2/b or Lagovirus europaeus GI.2), the origin of which is still ...

Falconer Perceptions of, and Support for, Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Biosecurity Actions [PDF]
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) is a highly contagious virus that primarily infects wild and domestic rabbits and hares (lagomorphs). In the United States, state wildlife agencies rely on stakeholders to report RHDV2-related mortalities and ...

Experimental study of the mechanical transmission of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV2/b) by Aedes Albopictus (Diptera: Clicidae) and Phlebotomus papatasi (diptera: psychodidae); 34447999 [PDF]
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is caused by a lagovirus mainly affecting European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), although other European and North American lagomorph species are also susceptible to fatal infection by the new viral variant RHDV2/b. In

Pathogen profiling of Australian rabbits by metatranscriptomic sequencing
Abstract Australia is known for its long history of using biocontrol agents, such as myxoma virus (MYXV) and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), to manage wild European rabbit populations. Interestingly, while undertaking RHDV surveillance of rabbits that were found dead, we observed that approximately 40% of samples were negative for RHDV.

We compared a bead RNA extraction method with a one-tube method that required only a heat block and ice. RNA was first extracted from liver samples from nine rabbits dying from rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) using magnetic beads, and RT-PCR ...

Abstract The Lagovirus genus comprises both pathogenic viruses as European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV‐ GII.1) and rabbit hemorrhagic disease viruses (RHDV‐GI.1 and RHDV2‐GI.2), that principally infect European brown hares (Lepus europeaus) and European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), respectively, causing severe necrotic hepatitis, spleen ...
