The new virus, named rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus type 2 (abbreviated as RHDV2 or RHDVb), also caused RHD, but exhibited distinctive genetic, antigenic, and pathogenic features. Importantly, RHDV2 killed rabbits previously vaccinated with RHDV vaccines, and affected young European rabbits, as well as hares ( Lepus spp.). [ 11 ]
The Kansas Department of Agriculture says a veterinary lab detected the first case of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 2 (RHDV-2) in a domestic rabbit in Leavenworth this month.
Vaccinations exist for both rabbit hemorrhagic disease and myxomatosis. [16] These vaccinations are usually given annually, two weeks apart. If there is an outbreak of myxomatosis locally, this vaccine can be administered every six months for extra protection. [17]

Healthy pet rabbits can live for 10–12 years, but sadly many bunnies have a much shorter lifespan due to disease. They thrive on an appropriate, high-fiber diet, as well as a clean living area ...
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a highly infectious rabbit-specific disease caused by strains of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), including type 2 (RHDV2). [112] The disease was first described in domestic Angora rabbits imported from Germany to Jiangsu, China in 1984, and quickly spread to Korea, Italy, and the rest of Europe.
European brown hare syndrome virus was first described in the 1980s and was noted as closely related to rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) virus, another calcivirus that causes severe viral hepatitis in European rabbits. A variant of the RHD virus, termed RHDV2, was discovered in the early 2010s that affects both the European rabbit and the ...
