I would recommend you do the following re references for RCD/ Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease
for students in Australia and New Zealand.
1.Read through my website re RCD/RHD at http://www.wantree.com.au/~rabbit/rabbit.htm
2.For NZ persons, contact Friends of the Earth New Zealand for they have hard copies of some of the references below
you may like to access .
(ask for Paul Tucker)
3.Technical references that would help you are
