| rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (gi.2) is replacing endemic strains of rhdv in the australian landscape within 18 months of its arrival. | rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2(rhdv2;lagovirusgi.2) is a pathogenic calicivirus that affects european rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) and various hare (lepus) species. gi.2 was first detected in france in 2010 and subsequently caused epidemics in wild and domestic lagomorph populations throughout europe. in may 2015 gi.2 was detected in australia. within 18 months of its initial detection gi.2 had spread to all australian states and territories and rapidly became the dominant circulating st ... | 2017 | 29093089 |
| fecal viral diversity of captive and wild tasmanian devils characterized using virion-enriched metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. | the tasmanian devil is an endangered carnivorous marsupial threatened by devil facial tumor disease (dftd). while research on dftd has been extensive, little is known about viruses in devils and whether any are of potential conservation relevance for this endangered species. using both metagenomics based on virion enrichment and sequence-independent amplification (virion-enriched metagenomics) and metatranscriptomics based on bulk rna sequencing, we characterized and compared the fecal viromes o ... | 2019 | 30867308 |
| overcoming species barriers: an outbreak of lagovirus europaeus gi.2/rhdv2 in an isolated population of mountain hares (lepus timidus). | prior to 2010, the lagoviruses that cause rabbit hemorrhagic disease (rhd) in european rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) and european brown hare syndrome (ebhs) in hares (lepus spp.) were generally genus-specific. however, in 2010, rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (rhdv2), also known as lagovirus europaeus gi.2, emerged and had the distinguishing ability to cause disease in both rabbits and certain hare species. the mountain hare (lepus timidus) is native to sweden and is susceptible to european ... | 2018 | 30477499 |
| gi.1b/gi.1b/gi.2 recombinant rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (lagovirus europaeus/gi.2) in morocco, africa. | rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv) is highly lethal to the european rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus). it was first reported in 1984 in china, but in 2010, a new variant of the virus was detected (gi.2) in france. several recombination events with pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains have been described. here, we report the first sequences of rhdv in africa, isolated from moroccan rabbits, and these resemble gi.1b/gi.1b/gi.2 recombinants found in the iberian peninsula. monitoring and characte ... | 2019 | 30284631 |
| lagovirus europeus gi.2 (rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2) infection in captive mountain hares (lepus timidus) in germany. | rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (rhdv, lagovirus europeus gi.1) induces a contagious and highly lethal hemorrhagic disease in rabbits. in 2010 a new genotype of lagovirus (gi.2), emerged in europe, infecting wild and domestic population of rabbits and hares. | 2020 | 32460756 |
| pathology of lagovirus europaeus gi.2/rhdv2/b (rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2) in native north american lagomorphs. | rabbit hemorrhagic disease, a notifiable foreign animal disease in the us, was reported for the first time in wild native north american lagomorphs in april 2020 in the southwestern us. affected species included the desert cottontail (sylvilagus audubonii), mountain cottontail (sylvilagus nuttallii), black-tailed jackrabbit (lepus californicus), and antelope jackrabbit (lepus alleni). desert cottontails (n=7) and black-tailed jackrabbits (n=7) collected in april and may 2020 were necropsied at t ... | 2021 | 33961043 |
| outbreak of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 in the southwestern united states: first detections in southern california. | an outbreak of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (rhdv2)-associated disease occurred in the southwestern united states following its first detection in new mexico in march 2020. the disease spread throughout several states and was diagnosed for the first time in california on may 11, 2020, in a black-tailed jackrabbit (lepus californicus). the following day, the california department of food and agriculture (cdfa) issued an order banning the entrance into california of several lagomorph species ... | 2021 | 33797311 |
| clinical and pathologic findings in an outbreak in rabbits of natural infection by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 in the northwestern united states. | rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (rhdv2) causes an often-fatal disease of rabbits that has resulted in outbreaks in rabbitries in europe, africa, australia, and asia. rhd has historically been characterized as a foreign animal disease in the united states. in july 2019, rhdv2 was detected in rabbits on orcas island along the northwestern coast of washington (wa) state following reports of deaths in multiple feral and domestic rabbits. we document and highlight here the unique clinical presenta ... | 2021 | 34092143 |
| incursions of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 in canada-clinical, molecular and epidemiological investigation. | rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (rhdv2) is a newly emerging lagovirus belonging to the family caliciviridae. after its first discovery in 2010 in france, this highly pathogenic virus rapidly spread to neighbouring countries and has become the dominant strain, replacing the classical rhdv strains. rhdv2 was first reported in north america in 2016 in mont-joli, quebec, canada, and it was reported again in 2018 and 2019 on vancouver island and the southwest mainland of british columbia (bc). th ... | 2021 | 33915034 |
