Genetic perspectives on the historical introduction of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) to Australia

2019-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The introduced European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is one of Australia’s most damaging invasive alien species, both in terms of ecological and economic impact. Biological control of rabbits using the myxoma and rabbit haemorrhagic disease viruses has been undertaken in Australia since the mid-1950s, and locally varying genetic resistance to these biocontrol viruses has been reported. The efficacy of biocontrol...
