Subject: Official Information request - Monitoring effect of K5 and effectiveness of Cylap vaccine

Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

If the release of K5 proceeds, what plans have or will be formulated to monitor the deaths of Pet Rabbits to evaluate the claimed efficacy of the Cylap vaccine.

Are tests available to determine if a pet rabbit died of V351 or the K5 strain.

What public notification will be put in place to advise rabbit owners of what to do if a vaccinated pet rabbit dies.

Who will cover the cost of the testing if a vaccinated rabbit dies of the K5 virus.

What recovery plans are in place to:-
1) provide a vaccine to protect valuable pet rabbits
2) contain and eradicate the K5 virus
if the Cylap vaccine does not work as stated in the application that may approve its release, due to the failure of the pilot study?

Yours faithfully,

Gary Stephenson
