One theory of how the European Eyach virus is proposed to have come about in Europe is by the migration of lagomorphs from North America over fifty million years ago.

Adult " T . serialis " are parasites of carnivores, particularly dogs, with herbivorous lagomorph mammals such as rabbits and hares, serving as intermediate hosts.
43.
After reaching a plateau above the tree line, almost all vegetation disappears with the exception of lichen and a few high alpine American Pikas which are lagomorphs related to rabbits.
44.
The Sardinian pika was probably much stockier and robust than the species of living lagomorphs, and it probably resembled a sort of cross between a large wild rabbit and a pika.
45.
During the breeding season they are found in folds of skin at the base of the penis ( for all lagomorphs species, the testes are in front of the penis ).
46.
L�pez Mart�nez was recognized worldwide as a leading figure in the study of the evolution of Cenozoic lagomorphs, as well as the Cretaceous Paleogene extinction event in the area of the Pyrenees.
47.
Lagomorphs were certainly more diverse in the past than in the present, with around 75 genera and over 230 species represented in the fossil record and many more species in a single biome.
48.
The diet of wildcats in Great Britain varies geographically; in eastern Scotland, lagomorphs make up 70 % of their diet, while in the west, 47 % consists of small rodents.
49.
The etiologic agent is the larval development of bot flies within the " Cuterebra " or " Trypoderma " genera, which occurs obligatorily in rodents and lagomorphs, respectively.
50.
Lagomorphs mature sexually at an early age and can give birth to several litters a year ( hence the saying, " to breed like rabbits " or " to breed like bunnies " ).
