Key result

The overall seroprevalence of RHDV antibodies in domestic rabbits from Polish farms was 13.3%, revealing a large proportion of seronegative animals highly susceptible to RHD infection.

Overview

Indicates high RHDV susceptibility on Polish farms; leaves open optimal vaccination and surveillance strategies.

Study Design

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=12,169)

PICO

P
Population
12,169 sera from domestic rabbits reared in smallholder and industrial farms in Poland, collected between 2008-2014 to assess RHDV seroprevalence.
E
Exposure / Comparator
Farm type and vaccination status
O
Primary Outcome
Overall seroprevalence of RHDV antibodies

Limitations

  • The study did not assess whether the detected antibody titers induced effective immune protection against RHDV infection.
  • The variation in seroprevalence among young unvaccinated rabbits from commercial farms makes it difficult to determine protective efficacy.

Fitzner et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD) (n=12,169). Farm type and vaccination status was evaluated on Overall seroprevalence of RHDV antibodies. The overall seroprevalence of RHDV antibodies in domestic rabbits from Polish farms was 13.3%, revealing a large proportion of seronegative animals highly susceptible to RHD infection.
