Australia has been plagued with an overpopulation of feral rabbits for years. The pests have reduced Australia's agricultural productivity by over 200 million dollars every year. The rabbits also threaten 304 native species.
To combat the impact of rabbits, the Landholders, Local Land Services, and the NSW Department of Primary Industries will be collaborating to release a new strain of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus across the Murray region. The strain is called RHDV1 K5 virus, and is a strain of calicivirus. It is the first time in 20 years that a new biocontrol agent against rabbits has been used in Australia.
Previously, rabbit hemorrhagic viruses have resulted in 90% reduction of the rabbit populations. This time is expected to have less dramatic of an impact, but will boost current management of the population and slow down increases in numbers.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
