Overview

Review reveals ongoing rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus outbreaks across Nigerian rabbitries, highlighting severe threats to smallholder livestock production and food security.

Key Points

  • Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus causes rapid mortality in domestic stock, threatening small-scale rabbitry initiatives that alleviate regional poverty across Nigeria.
  • Literature review traces the initial September 2020 outbreaks across Kwara and Oyo States, documenting relentless viral spread despite implemented animal health measures.
  • Persistent transmission highlights severe challenges for domestic food security, requiring improved intervention strategies to protect commercial rabbitry and rural livelihoods.
