Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is a virus in the genus Lagovirus and the family Caliciviridae.It is a nonenveloped virus with a diameter around 35–40 nm, icosahedral symmetry, and a linear positive-sense RNA genome of 6.4–8.5 kb.
The antidote for belladonna poisoning is an anticholinesterase (such as physostigmine) or a cholinomimetic (such as pilocarpine), the same as for atropine. [52] Atropa bella-donna is also toxic to many domestic animals, causing narcosis and paralysis. [53] However, cattle and rabbits eat the plant seemingly without suffering harmful effects. [50]
