Over a period of 9 months the occurrence of parasites, bacteria and viruses has been examined in diarrhoeic rabbits from 21 commercial rabbitries and related with clinical signs and gross and microscopic lesions. Infectious disease agents have been found in 71.5% of the animals. Escherichia coli (ATEC) were found to be attached to the luminal intestinal border of 40% of the rabbits examined. This was associated with moderate to high mortality, caecal oedema, severe swelling of mesenteric lymph nodes and high numbers of colibacilli attached to the epithelium of ileum, caecum and colon. Rotaviruses were detected in 35.4% of the animals. Disease associated with pure rota infection was usually mild and affected predominantly small intestine. A coronavirus associated with ATEC has been established in one rabbitry and coccidia were present in 18.5% of the animals. Multiple agents were found in 18.5% of the animals.
在9个月的时间里，对来自21个商业养兔场的腹泻兔体内寄生虫、细菌和病毒的发生情况进行了检查，并将其与临床症状、大体病变和显微病变相关联。在71.5%的动物中发现了传染病病原体。在40%的被检查兔子的肠腔肠壁上发现了大肠杆菌（非致病性大肠杆菌）。这与中度至高度死亡率、盲肠水肿、肠系膜淋巴结严重肿胀以及大量大肠杆菌附着于回肠、盲肠和结肠上皮有关。在35.4%的动物中检测到轮状病毒。与单纯轮状病毒感染相关的疾病通常较轻，主要影响小肠。在一个养兔场发现了一种与非致病性大肠杆菌相关的冠状病毒，18.5%的动物体内存在球虫。在18.5%的动物中发现了多种病原体。
