Abstract
CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA —The rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus—so far—is working exactly as Australian animal-control and health officials hoped when they released the deadly agent last fall in a controversial effort to combat a century-old plague of European rabbits. With a fatality rate of 95% in some regions, the virus is clearing the way for a rejuvenation of species ranging from the showy groundsel shrub to the western gray kangaroo.Keywords
