With the exception of virus strains Ashington and RCV, other recognised strains of Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) share relatively close genetic homology. Using serology and phylogenetic analysis, we have identified a third disparate virus lineage in healthy rabbits on Lambay Island off the east coast of Eire, where disease due to RHDV has never been observed. ELISA tests revealed high titre...
During the past 50 years two readily distinguishable rabbit-specific diseases caused by Myxoma virus (MYXV) and Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) respectively, have decimated wild rabbit populations worldwide. Combined with the use of these viruses as biocontrol agents, the consequences for farming, commercial rabbit breeding and rare habitat conservation dependent on rabbit grazing, have been...
Adult wild rabbits from the southern UK, previously unexposed to rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), were experimentally challenged with a UK strain of the virus in laboratory conditions. Initial serum antibodies were measured by an haemagglutination inhibition test and all seropositive rabbits, with reciprocal titres > 10, were protected against fatal infection. These results are consistent with...
