Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2/genotype GI.2 (RHDV2/GI.2; Caliciviridae, Lagovirus) causes a highly contagious with hepatic necrosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation in several Leporidae species. RHDV2 was first detected European rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus) France 2010 has since spread widely. We gather here data on viral detections reported various countries affected species, discuss pathology, genetic differences, novel diagnostic aspects. been almost globally, cases Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia, North America as of 2023.

Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) is a highly infectious, often fatal viral that affects both domestic and wild lagomorph species. In the United States (U.S.), first was detected in populations southwest March 2020 has continued to be native North American species over several years. The susceptibility of host exact mechanisms environmental transmission across U.S. landscape remain poorly understood. Our study aims increase understanding RHDV2 by providing history detection. We present summarize results from all RHDV2-suspect morbidity mortality samples submitted for diagnostic testing 2024. Samples were 916 lagomorphs eight 14 western states, which 313 (34.2%) tested positive RT-qPCR. Detections pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) riparian brush (Sylvilagus bachmani riparius) suggest risk threatened endangered warrants more attention. Continuing investigate events tracking detections time can help inform on epidemiology population trends.

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) GI.2 has caused significant declines in the abundance of wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), contributing to species being recently classified as “endangered” its native range. The epidemiology this is still poorly understood despite relevance for domestic and rabbits. During a longitudinal capture-mark-recapture (CMR) study Iberian rabbits, O. c. algirus, semiextensive breeding enclosure, an outbreak RHDV took place January-February 2022, allowing us estimate key epidemiological parameters natural outbreak. From April 2021 July 340 were captured 466 times individually identified, some vaccinated against myxoma (MYXV) and/or GI.2. Sera collected tested IgG specific MYXV GI.2, data analyzed using multievent CMR models. six weeks estimated 81.0% (CI95 77.1–84.3%) population died. Intensive aboveground searches could recover 189 carcasses (50.5% mortality, CI95 41.8–63.4%), with detected 6/7 tested. Apparent seroprevalence rose from 15.4% 8.0–27.5%) January 2022 87.9% 72.7–95.2%) February 2022. apparent mortality GI.2-seropositive during was null, while seronegative it 76.0% 53.8–90.3%). Among higher unvaccinated (100%) than (60.0 ± 16.6%) females males (52.0 17.1%). Infected burrows might explain medium-term persistence following Rabbits antibodies at cutoff seropositivity fully protected fatal infection. Females had fatality rate males, underscoring impact on dynamics endangered species.
