A deadly virus that kills rabbits has reached the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge outside Modesto.
VERNALIS -- A virus that kills rabbits has reached California, officials with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced on Friday.
"This is a discovery we hoped would never occur," said CDFW Senior Wildlife veterinarian Dr. Deana Clifford. The vet said they had planned for the virus' arrival with a proactive vaccination effort but that"we are in the very early stages of understanding the impacts to the species now that RHDV2 has arrived at the refuge."
The vaccination efforts are part of a larger conservation effort to restore habitat and recover the population of the riparian brush rabbits.
