    [QUOTE=Dama dama;688310]It will be just another tool. I predict that it will have a good kill first time round if it is done right. Long term will stabilise out at around 40% annually.


    The virus won't stabilise , as time progresses and the rabbit populations immunity climbs the kill rate will decrease. This has been shown from the original strain release and why they are now releasing a new variant .
    I agree that done right the initial release should be effective.
    Australia got the release last year and results have been mixed. Some area's reporting kill rates up to 80%, others around 40% and some showing very little result at all.
