A virus is killing off a large number of rabbits in the state. Wyoming Game and Fish Department spokeswoman Sara DiRenzo said the deadly virus known as the Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHDV2) was first found in France back in 2010, and has made its way to the U.S. It was first identified in this country in 2019, and is slowly spreading. The first case in Albany County was found in December last year.
It is a disease that is highly contagious and lethal affecting rabbits, both domesticated and wild. So far there have been 83 cases statewide. DiRienzo said that this is a concern and they are monitoring it closely. She added that the virus is often very swift and is a sudden killer, noting that the rabbits may die without showing any symptoms at all.
