| dc.description.abstract | Epizootic Rabbit Enteropathy (ERE) is a complex gastrointestinal disease affecting domestic
rabbits, characterized by abdominal distention, acute enteric distress, and increased morbidity
and mortality. It is the primary cause of mortality in the European rabbit industry and costs
millions of Euros every year. It is known to be potentially fatal to different rabbit ages and
persists in threatening the rabbit production industry. It is mostly documented in intensive and
semi-intensive fattening farms, but there are also reports of ERE in pet rabbits, which are rather
rarely seen. It is known to be a contagious disease with a 30-40 % mortality and even up to
100% morbidity in up to a few days. | en_US |
