For one thing, rabbits show clinical signs rather late and for another, there is often a time delay before they are presented to the veterinarian. Especially the diagnostic workup of infectious diseases with non-specific signs is a challenge for the practitioner. The first step is a detailed clinical history. Here, it is necessary to ask about how the animal is kept (individually or in a group), its age, vaccination status and any unusual occurrences. A thorough clinical examination and a general blood test are just as essential as the laboratory diagnosis of the infection itself. Sample material and detection methods depend on the suspected infection.<\/p>\n<p>Below, some selected infectious diseases with non-specific, respiratory and\/or mainly gastrointestinal signs are described in more detail. For the sake of clarity, the most important facts are presented in tabular form.<\/p>\n<h2>Infections with non-specific signs<\/h2>\n<p>In patients with non-specific signs such as apathy, lethargy and anorexia or in cases of sudden death, it is often difficult to associate them directly with a specific infectious agent. Common lethal infectious diseases in this category are rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) and tularaemia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tularemia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even though tularaemia is rare, recent cases in Germany and its zoonotic potential keep putting it in the spotlight again and again.<br \/>\nTularaemia, also called \u201crabbit fever\u201d, is a notifiable bacterial zoonosis (causative agent Francisella tularensis). The main reservoir in Germany are European hares. Yet, rabbits, rodents, squirrels and wild ruminants can also be infected.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its low incidence in humans (17 \u2013 72 cases per year in Germany) [1]), tularaemia is also notifiable in humans (\u00a7 7 par. 1 German Infection Protection Act) and is considered an occupational disease of hunters and persons who trade in hares or process them into food products [1]. Because of the low infectious dose of 10 \u2013 50 (!) pathogens, the severe course of the disease in some cases and good chances of recovery if treatment is started early in humans, detection should be performed soon if there is any suspicion. Infection of humans occurs via the oronasal route, the conjunctiva or via lesions of the skin or the mucous membrane. Sources are evisceration of carcasses, contaminated, insufficiently heated food, contaminated water, aerosols as well as bites\/stings of arthropods (ticks, mosquitoes, horseflies).<br \/>\nTypical clinical symptoms in humans include: non-specific, flu-like symptoms, skin ulcerations, swollen and suppurative lymph nodes, fever, conjunctivitis and pneumonia. Aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol or rifampicin are recommended for treatment [2]. Prophylaxis in humans includes: avoiding unprotected contact with wild animals, maintaining occupational hygiene when handling sick or dead wild animals and game, only eating game dishes which are well cooked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table 1: <\/strong>Fact sheet tularaemia in rabbits and hares [1, 3 \u2013 5]<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody valign=\"top\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Tularaemia<\/strong><\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"9\" width=\"8\"><\/td>\n<td><strong>Data and facts<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Causative agent<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022 <em>Francisella<\/em> <em>tularensis<\/em>, family <em>Francisellaceae<\/em> (y-proteobacteria)<br \/>\n\u2022 gram-negative, non-motile, pleomorphic bacillus<br \/>\n\u2022 host range: mainly hares (reservoir: rodents and others); <strong>Zoonosis!

The causes are manifold.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from cardiological, traumatic, degenerative and\/or neoplastic changes, infections are the most frequent cause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snuffles (Rhinitis contagiosa cuniculi)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Snuffles is one of the most common reasons why rabbits are presented in practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSnuffles\u201d is a globally spread, ageindependent, predominantly bacterial mixed infection of the upper and sometimes lower respiratory tract. Many rabbits are asymptomatic carriers. In times of immunosuppression, triggered by stress or other underlying diseases, it may become clinically apparent. In addition to changes in husbandry and inadequate housing conditions, breed-related factors such as brachycephaly can also lead to an increased incidence [6].<br \/>\n<em>Pasteurella (P.) multocida and Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica<\/em>, for example, are considered to be co-pathogens of snuffles but, just like mycoplasmas [7, 8], are also often found in the upper respiratory tract of healthy rabbits [16]. Infections with <em>P. multocida <\/em>typically cause rhinitis with mucopurulent nasal discharge, but can also manifest as otitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, abscesses, genital infections and septicaemia [9]. Because of their wide host range, both <em>P. multocida <\/em>and <em>B. bronchiseptica <\/em>are said to have a certain zoonotic potential and thus pose some risk to immunocompromised people or children [10, 11].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table 2:<\/strong> Fact sheet snuffles [6 \u2013 7, 12 \u2013 13]<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody valign=\"top\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Snuffles<\/strong><\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"9\" width=\"8\"><\/td>\n<td><strong>Data and facts<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Causative agent<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">manifold, depending on stock and husbandry:<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 Hein et al. 2021: 32% <em>Pasteurellaceae<\/em>, 28% <em>Enterobacteriaceae<\/em>, 13% <em>Pseudomonaceae<\/em>, 12% <em>Staphylococcaceae <\/em>[12]<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 Villa et al. 2001: 43% <em>Mycoplasma <\/em>spp., 39% <em>Bordetella bronchiseptica<\/em>, 14% <em>Pasteurella <\/em><em>multocida<\/em>, 14% <em>Chlamydia <\/em>spp., 10% <em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>, 6% <em>Escherichia coli <\/em>[7]<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 Rougier et al. 2006: 55% <em>Pasteurella multocida<\/em>, 52% <em>Bordetella bronchiseptica<\/em>, 28% <em>Pseudomonas spp.<\/em>, 17% <em>Staphylococcus spp. <\/em>[13]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Infection<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022 oronasal, airborne<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Shedding<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022 respiratory secretions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Clinical<\/strong> <strong>picture<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022\u00a0 uni- or bilateral nasal stridor; sneezing; watery, later mucopurulent nasal discharge; sticky front paws; varying degrees of dyspnoea<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 imparied drainage and ascending infections \u2192 conjunctivitis, otitis media\/interna partly with vestibular syndrome [14]; encephalitis<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 severe courses \u2192 pneumonia and sepsis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Course<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022 mild to severe depending on the pathogen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Diagnosis<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022\u00a0 nasal lavage sample<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 from the deeper parts of the upper respiratory tract (to avoid contamination with intestinal\/ environmental pathogens)<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 clean the rhinarium with an alcohol-soaked swab<br \/>\n&#8211; lavage sample collection with physiological saline solution using a 2- to 3-ml syringe and attached intravenous cannula<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0 lavage sample of the nasolacrimal duct in case of dacryocystitis<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 <strong>bacteriological examination: <\/strong>lavage sample\/swab in tube with medium<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0 <strong>PCR <\/strong>(<em>Mycoplasma spp.<\/em>): lavage sample in sterile screw cap tube without medium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022 depending on pathogen\/antibiogram, mucolysis, immunostimulation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"142\"><strong>Prophylaxis<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"544\">\u2022\u00a0 improving husbandry and housing conditions (excessively dry air due to heating in winter, draughts, lack of hygiene) [6]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Infections with gastrointestinal signs<\/h2>\n<p>Diarrhoea is a common problem in rabbits.
