摘要: Rabbit haemorrhagic disease is a major tool for the management of introduced, wild rabbits in Australia. However, new evidence suggests that may be developing resistance to disease. Rabbits sourced from populations central and southeastern Australia, domestic comparison, were experimentally challenged with low 60 ID50 oral dose commercially available Czech CAPM 351 virus - original strain released Levels infection generally higher than unselected also differed (0-73% rates) between populations. Resistance was lower cooler, wetter regions arid highest seen within zones moderate rainfall. These findings suggest external influences non-pathogenic calicivirus areas poor recruitment influence development rate
