A dead wild rabbit tested as part of rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) monitoring was found to be positive for rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2). This is the first case of RHDV2 detected in New Zealand. The Czech strain of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 1 has been present in New Zealand since 1997. The Korean or K5 variant of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus 1 (RHDV1-K5) was released as a biological control agent in New Zealand in March 2018 (refer to OIE immediate notification dated 04/04/2018).

"In Australien wurden Wildschweine zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts eingef?hrt, um dort unter anderem Schlangen zu bek?mpfen. Heute gelten sie dort als Plage ? sie t?ten beispielsweise regelm??ig neugeborene L?mmer und gelten daher als landwirtschaftliche Sch?dlinge. Auch auf zahlreichen s?dostasiatischen Inseln (Bismarck- und Louisiadearchipel, Salomon- und Admiralit?tsinseln und anderen im dortigen Bereich) wurden Wildschweine ebenfalls durch den Menschen eingef?hrt."
