The myxoma virus species jump from European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) to Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) has raised concerns. We assess the decline suffered by Iberian hare populations on the Iberian Peninsula and discuss the association between the effect of myxomatosis and the average abundance index, which we estimated by using hunting bags.

粘液瘤病毒物种跳跃对伊比利亚野兔种群的影响

粘液瘤病毒从欧洲兔子（Oryctolagus cuniculus）传播到伊比利亚野兔（Lepus granatensis）引起了人们的关注。我们评估了伊比利亚半岛伊比利亚野兔种群数量的下降，并讨论了粘液瘤病的影响与平均丰度指数之间的关联，我们通过使用狩猎袋估计了平均丰度指数。
