| myxomatosis: the release and spread of the european rabbit flea spilopsyllus cuniculi (dale) in the central district of victoria. | the european rabbit flea was first released in victoria in august 1969 at werribee. releases were made on five different land forms. at one site the first flea was recovered 2 weeks after release. fleas were recovered between 4 and 6 weeks after release at the other sites. differences in establishment and spread on the different land forms were due to physically restricted movement of some rabbit populations. by june 1971 80% of rabbits were infested but an occasional young uninfested rabbit was ... | 1979 | 489962 |
| myxomatosis: changes in the epidemiology of myxomatosis coincident with the establishment of the european rabbit flea spilopsyllus cuniculi (dale) in the mallee region of victoria. | outbreaks of myxomatosis during the winter or spring have coincided with the establishment of the european rabbit flea in the mallee region. the severity of these outbreaks has varied from causing complete suppression of the normal spring increase in rabbit numbers to being completely ineffective in a year in which late spring rains allowed rabbit breeding to extend into the early summer.in 1973 and 1974 effective spring myxomatosis caused heavy mortality in kittens before they emerged from the ... | 1978 | 569676 |

| myxomatosis: the introduction of the european rabbit flea spilopsyllus cuniculi (dale) into wild rabbit populations in australia. | 1. the european rabbit flea spilopsyllus cuniculi (dale) bred successfully in wild rabbits on three properties in new south wales and, within two breeding seasons, almost every rabbit shot within a quarter of a mile of a release site was infested.2. it was demonstrated that the flea transmitted myxoma virus in the field.3. in areas where more than 75% of the rabbits shot at the beginning of the breeding season were flea-infested and myxoma virus was present, populations failed to show the expect ... | 1971 | 5285938 |

| funnel-web spider (atrax robustus) antivenom in the treatment of human envenomation. | envenomation by the sydney funnel-web spider may lead to serious illness or death. after an antivenom which had been raised in rabbits was proven to reverse the signs of envenomation in animals, a trial was conducted in patients. nine patients (aged 3-82 years) with severe envenomation by funnel-web spiders received treatment with an antivenom to the venom of atrax robustus. concomitant diseases in the victims included rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, complete heart block, pyrexia of unk ... | 1984 | 6503783 |

| patterns of differentiation among wild rabbit populations oryctolagus cuniculus l. in arid and semiarid ecosystems of north-eastern australia. | feral rabbit populations in australia have generally been managed using localized control procedures. while these procedures may result in local extinctions, persistence of populations will depend on the probability of recolonization. genetic markers developed using temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (tgge) combined with heteroduplex analysis (ha) of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) were used to characterize the degree of subdivision and extent of gene flow within and among rabbit populations dis ... | 1997 | 9061941 |

| use of elisas in field studies of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (rhd) in australia. | elisa techniques developed for the veterinary diagnosis of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (rhd) in domestic rabbits were used for studying the epidemiology of rhd in australian wild rabbits. the combination of elisa techniques that distinguished iga, igg and igm antibody responses and a longitudinal data set, mainly based on capture-mark-recapture of rabbits, provided a reliable basis for interpreting serology and set the criteria used to classify rabbits' immunological status. importantly, young w ... | 2000 | 10982081 |
| rabbit haemorrhagic disease: field epidemiology and the management of wild rabbit populations. | rabbit haemorrhagic disease (rhd) has become established in wild rabbit populations throughout western europe, australia and new zealand. the abundance of wild rabbits has been significantly reduced, particularly in drier areas of southern spain, inland australia and south island new zealand. a detailed knowledge of the epidemiology of rhd is essential for the management of the disease in natural rabbit populations, either to rebuild or to control populations. when rhd first spread among naive w ... | 2002 | 11974620 |
| serological responses against the pathogenic dimorphic fungus mucor amphibiorum in populations of platypus (ornithorhynchus anatinus) with and without ulcerative mycotic dermatitis. | mucor amphibiorum, a dimorphic fungus, causes ulcerative dermatitis and systemic infections in the platypus ornithorhynchus anatinus in some river systems in tasmania but apparently not in other regions of australia. as yet there are no suitable tests for population surveys, nor for detection of internal lesions in live animals. consequently, immunoglobulins were purified from the serum of platypuses and anti-immunoglobulin antisera were prepared in rabbits in order to develop an enzyme-linked i ... | 2002 | 12079747 |
| monitoring the spread of myxoma virus in rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus populations on the southern tablelands of new south wales, australia. i. natural occurrence of myxomatosis. | a survey of rabbit populations in the southern tablelands of new south wales, australia, was carried out to establish the pattern of occurrence of myxomatosis in preparation for a deliberate release of myxoma virus. myxomatosis was first detected in december and cases were found on most sites through to may. the serological profiles of rabbit populations suggested that their susceptibility to myxoma virus was generally low in winter and highest in spring and summer reflecting the presence of inc ... | 2003 | 12613753 |
| monitoring the spread of myxoma virus in rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus populations on the southern tablelands of new south wales, australia. ii. selection of a strain of virus for release. | to be able to study the dynamics of myxoma virus spread following a release in the field, a strain of virus is required that is both highly transmissible and readily differentiated from other field strains. eight strains of virus of known virulence for laboratory rabbits and with previously mapped and sequenced restriction fragment length polymorphisms, were used to infect groups of seronegative wild rabbits. based on these trials, and on the nature of the dna polymorphism, a virus designated br ... | 2003 | 12613754 |
| monitoring the spread of myxoma virus in rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus populations on the southern tablelands of new south wales, australia. iii. release, persistence and rate of spread of an identifiable strain of myxoma virus. | an identifiable strain of myxoma virus was introduced into four local populations of wild rabbits oryctolagus cuniculus on the southern tablelands of new south wales (nsw) and its spread in the presence of other field strains was monitored for 6 months. the main vector in this region was considered to be the european rabbit flea spilopsyllis cuniculi. each population of rabbits was of a high density and living in groups of warrens covering areas from 59 to 87 hectares. rabbits occupying centrall ... | 2003 | 12613755 |
| female reproductive tract abnormalities in european hares (lepus europaeus) in australia. philip.stott@adelaide.edu.au. | populations of european hare (lepus europaeus) are in decline in europe, and populations in australia remain at low densities. populations are sensitive to size of the breeding stock, which is influenced by fertility in the females. from 1996 to 1999, a total of 272 adult female hares from three australian populations were dissected and their reproductive systems examined for abnormalities. cystic endometrial hyperplasia was relatively common and often accompanied by hydrosalpinx. extrauterine f ... | 2004 | 15650087 |

| identification and partial characterisation of a new lagovirus in australian wild rabbits. | rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv) is widely used in australia to control feral rabbit populations. before rhdv was released on the australian continent in 1996, antibodies cross-reacting in rhdv specific elisas were found in australian wild rabbits, leading to the hypothesis that a non-pathogenic calicivirus had been circulating in rabbit populations in australia, potentially providing some level of cross-immunoprotection to rhdv infection. for the detection of this putative virus, a univ ... | 2009 | 19049842 |
