PRO/AH/EDR> Rabbit hemorrhagic disease – USA (08): (UT) domestic, wild

Other Animal Disease — United States
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease, previously found in domestic rabbits at a private Utah farm, has now been found in wild rabbit populations in the state.
Not related to the COVID-19 virus that infects humans, the disease is highly contagious and causes rapid rabbit death, killing one to five days after exposure according to Utah’s Division of Wildlife Resources [DWR]. Officials there want Utahn’s to contact them if they see multiple dead wild rabbits in an area. The DWR’s website contact page
