Subject: Official Information request - Testing protocols for RHDV deaths

Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

Please advise what protocols are in place to test pet rabbits that have died from RHDV or suspected RHDV especially those who have been vaccinated with the Cylap vaccine which protects against RHDV1-V351 and is said to protect against RHDV1a-K5 to ensure Cylap is affording the protection stated against RHDV1a-K5.

Please advise what protocols are in place to test kits/babies under the age of 12 weeks who gain immunity from RHDV1 from their mothers that have died from RHDV or suspected RHDV to ensure immunity against RHDV1a-K5 is being passed on from their mothers and also that RHDV2 has not arrived

Please advise what protocols are in place to test pet rabbits that have died from RHDV or suspected RHDV in unusual circumstances, vaccinated, large numbers, mixed ages, adults/kits, single-sex only deaths.

What action will be taken if vaccine immunity or mother to kit immunity does not occur as stated?

What actions will be taken if RHDV2 is found to have arrived, how quickly will a vaccine available from Europe be approved?

What actions are in place to advise Veterinary Surgeons and owners on what to do if they suspect their pet rabbit has died of RHDV in order to ascertain the strain of RHDV?

What education is in place to advise veterinary surgeons of the correct vaccination protocol for the Cylap vaccine?

Yours faithfully,

Gary Stephenson
