    Epidemiological comments 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."



      ils sont peut ?tre en train de chercher le bon virus de PPA pour r?gler le probl?me localement ?
