| 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 |
| 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 |
