Do you work for MENSA Lol Like i said i don't believe the 7 year cycle theory, If a warren gets effected then all that's left in theory is those that have recovered from it, Allegedly immune, Its not until new off spring have increased the size of that colony that the virus spreads again, The road could have stopped interaction between the two colonies, Thus those on the other side of the road would have had no immunity, Maybe in a few years it will wipe that colony out again, 

It's ok.you don't need 2 sugar coat it ,I can cope

And why does it always show up just when u feel a glimmer of hope in an otherwise meaningless drudgery

I blame the European rabbit flea Spilopsyllis cuniculi, Ticks and other bitey creepy crawleys for the spread,

Meant to go in seven year cycles but i am not sure i believe that. also if the Doe gets over it her immunity is not passed on to her off spring. 

Vhd 1 and vhd 2 knocking round too but hey a rabbit is a true survivor if ever there was one,when you consider all the shit they've been and go through over the years.

From what I remember getting taught at college the kits have an immunity whilst they are being fed by the doe and if they come into contact with the virus during that period then they are immune for life.

 Locally they always got myxi in the autumn and there was enough to hunt over the season and breed again in spring but that vhd wiped out the lot.

They always come back though or do you think these latest man made diseases spell the end mate.

I understood that in order for kits to have lifetime immunity they had to contract and get over the virus, The same as adult rabbits. 

Just had a look. it appears we were both half right.

in cases of early infection, maternal antibodies can only reduce the severity of the disease, thereby enabling the host immune system to develop acquired immunity without the cost of a severe disease

It must be nearly a decade round here now, you started to see a few in the last couple of years and then they vanish again.

 I think it was an Australian or NZ guy on here saying that there's came back after a decade but I won't get my hopes up.
