Abstract
La Enfermedad Vírica Hemorrágica del Conejo es una patología de esta especie, que se describió por primera vez en el año 1984. El primer brote conocido de la enfermedad se notificó en China, causando millones de bajas en la región asiática y, posteriormente, en Europa. A pesar de las medidas de control establecidas, la enfermedad alcanzó el continente Americano, afectando a Estados Unidos, Méjico y varios países del Sur del continente. La enorme virulencia y la gran capacidad de transmisión que mostraba la enfermedad, la convirtió en una plaga temible en todo el Mundo. Sin embargo, estas mismas características que supusieron un problema a nivel mundial, fueron las idóneas para solucionar un problema aun mayor en Oceanía. Debido a la plaga de conejos existente en este continente, décadas antes se había introducido la mixomatosis con el objetivo de eliminar la población de conejos, que incrementaba su tamaño de forma incontrolada causando daños irreparables en el ecosistema local...
Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD) was first described in 1984 as a rabbit-specific disease. The first outbreak of RHD was reported in China, where big losses were registered after the importation of angora rabbits from Germany. Initially, losses were attributed to a toxin which could produce an acute haemorrhagic disease in the animals, as some poisons do. However, the most supported hypothesis was that a pathogenic agent was responsible for the disease. The outbreaks expanded during the next few months, causing millions of losses in Asia and then in Europe. The disease spread rapidly across the continent and soon became endemic. The Mediterranean area was especially impacted by this plague due to the broad rabbit populations established in this region. In spite of the control measures, the disease rapidly reached the Americas. The epidemics in this continent were only eradicated in Mexico, which is now the only country able to eliminate the disease from its territory. The enormous virulence and intense capacity of transmission of the disease made it a global and concerning plague...
