International rabbit information required (re vaccines)

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I have started a web page and a web ring devoted to protecting rabbits

from vaccine preventable diseases (we lobby for legalisation of rabbit

disease

vaccines around the world - after all dogs and cats are allowed vaccines

against deadly diseases, why not give the same care to rabbits?)

 

http://www.iinet.net.au/~rabbit/coalition.htm

 

For example there is no vaccine against RCD/RHD in the USA yet there

was a recent outbreak of RCD/RHD in Iowa in the USA and there are regular

outbreaks of RHD in CUBA near the coast of the USA.

 

I do not believe there is a vaccine against Myxomatosis in the USA

- please let me know if there is a legal Myxomatosis vaccine in the USA?

 

Please send me details for different countries as to legality and

availability of

Myxomatosis and RCD/RHD vaccines for rabbits.

 

Here is the country vaccine statuses I already have

 

Current vaccine status of different countries

*************************************************

Australia - RCD/RHD vaccine is legalised - No Myxomatosis vaccine allowed

(YET)

USA -No RCD/RHD vaccine legalised -No Myxomatosis vaccine available

England -Yes RCD/RHD/VHD vaccine is available & legal - Yes Myxomatosis

vaccine is available & legal

New Zealand - Yes RCD/RHD vaccine is available -No Myxomatosis vaccine is

available

 

Any help or comments much appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

 

Marguerite
