Calicivirus Infection in U.S. Rabbits Study
A study to determine the level of Caliciviral infection in U.S. rabbits is currently being planned. It is our hope that a baseline infection level can be found so that we can begin to determine if there is any immunity to RHD in our rabbits. We are also hoping to understand the link between RHD and other Caliciviruses, as well as disease symptoms that may be caused by this family of viruses. If you would like to have your rabbit(s) tested when the study is underway, please Contact Us.
