Studies on haemorrhagic viral disease in rabbits
Abstract: RVHD is still a great problem threaten rabbit industry in Egypt. RVHD could be diagnosed generally owing to host specificity. Very high mortality in adults, very short course of the disease, typical I.n. lesions especially necrotic pale liver and haemorrhagic tracheo pneumonic and specific histopathological finding. Haemagglutination test using human RBCs type “O” is still a satisfactory test for preliminary diagnosis of RVHD. The liver is the most suitable organ for RHDV detection. RHDV could be isolated in susceptible rabbits and failed to be isolated in SPF ECE and cell culture. RVHD is a highly contagious disease transmitted experimentally via contaminated feed and water, infected air and contact infection. The inactivated RHDV vaccine is simple to be manufactured and easy to be used and should be applied on rabbits beginning from 1.5 months old. The RHDV vaccine could be applied safely in pregnant ewes without abortions or still birth and proved very high success as an emergency vaccine during RVHD outbreak.
