is a major cause of illness in hospitalized patients and the most important and common pathogen in nosocomial outbreaks worldwide. In animals, has been associated with respiratory infections in a group of minks, leading to pneumonia and acute mortality. This report documents a case of aspiration bronchopneumonia in a wild European hare caused by . A free-ranging, adult male European hare was submitted to necropsy after acute trauma due to being hit by a car. Its lungs showed consolidation with abscess in the middle and cranial lobes. Histopathologic evaluation revealed liquefactive necrosis associated with neutrophilic infiltration, cellular debris, plant material, and bacterial myriads surrounded by moderate neutrophils, macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, lymphocytes, and plasma cell inflammation. was isolated from lung tissue.

This study examines the reproductive performance of the European brown hare in Italy, focusing on four hunting districts in Basilicata (A1, A2) and Emilia-Romagna (A3, A4) and using the number of endometrial scars as a fertility indicator. Fertility, measured as the number of scars during the entire reproductive period, was highest in A1 (11.50 ± 1.

Article Synopsis
- West Nile virus (WNV) is a widespread mosquito-borne virus raising concerns for health in Europe, yet no studies have previously investigated its impact on wild rabbits and hares in Spain.
- This study examined WNV exposure in 540 wild lagomorphs in Andalusia, revealing 5% tested positive, with 4.8% of wild rabbits and 0.7% of Iberian hares showing antibodies against the virus.
- The findings mark the first report of WNV exposure in wild rabbits in Spain and Iberian hares globally, suggesting these animals could help monitor the virus's presence in their ecosystems.

is a vector-borne zoonotic bacterium that causes tularemia, a disease of great importance for animal and public health. Although wild lagomorphs are considered one of the major reservoirs of this bacterium, information about the circulation of in European wild rabbit () and Iberian hare () populations in Europe is still very limited. In Spain, is present in northern central regions, with recurrent outbreaks occurring annually.

However, information on these mammals' activity patterns and co-occurrence, specifically in Türkiye, is limited. Our study aimed to reveal the daily activity patterns and temporal overlaps of mammalian species detected using camera traps in Sülüklü Lake Nature Park.

Invasive alien species have the potential to introduce pathogens of economic and health importance in new environments. In Brazil, parasites from the non-native European brown hare can be a threat to humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. Therefore, we aimed to describe the helminth fauna of the invasive European brown hare in three Brazilian states (São Paulo, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul).
