RHDV2 in Kansas: The National Veterinary Service Laboratories have confirmed a detection of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease virus Type 2 (RHDV2) in a domestic rabbit from Leavenworth County. RHDV2 is a highly contagious and fatal disease that only affects rabbits; it does NOT impact human health. This is the first case of RHDV2 in Kansas, although the virus has been found for several years in most states to the west of Kansas, including Colorado. The infected animals were in a private home which is not active in any shows or competitive rabbit events. We have attached some guidance on rabbit biosecurity, and these documents can also be found on the KDA Division of Animal Health webpage at agriculture.ks.gov/RHDV2.
