Journal ArticleDOI

Incursion of RHDV2-like variant in Great Britain.

D. Westcott, +6 more
- 29 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: The RHDV virus causes an acute, fulminating and generally fatal disease in the European rabbit and is first discovered in China in 1984 and then confirmed in the UK in 1992.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landscape scale impacts of culling upon a European grey squirrel population: can trapping reduce population size and decrease the threat of squirrelpox virus infection for the native red squirrel?

Pia Schuchert, +4 more
- 15 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: Evidence that despite variation in grey squirrel control intensity, the abundance of grey squirrels ultimately decreased significantly is presented, indicating that culling can in parallel remove both the competitive and disease threat posed to red by grey Squirrels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes of mortality and pathological lesions observed post-mortem in red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Great Britain

Victor R. Simpson, +4 more
- 16 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: Red squirrels in Britain suffer premature or unnatural mortality due to a number of conditions in addition to squirrelpox, many of which result, directly or indirectly, from human activities: road traffic trauma, pet predation, toxoplasmosis, trap injuries, rodenticide poisoning and electrocution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Squirrelpox Virus: Assessing Prevalence, Transmission and Environmental Degradation

Lisa M. Collins, +9 more
- 21 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that SQPV is present at low prevalence in invasive grey squirrel populations with a lower prevalence in native red squirrels and could occur through urine especially during warm dry summer conditions but, more notably, via ectoparasites, which are shared by both species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrospective detection by negative contrast electron microscopy of faecal viral particles in free-living wild red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) with suspected enteropathy in Great Britain

David J. Everest, +9 more
- 25 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy identified adenovirus particles in 10 of 70 samples of large intestinal content collected at postmortem examination from free-living wild red squirrels across Great Britain between 2000 and 2009, a novel finding in this species.
