The Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania (NRE Tasmania) has recently conducted a calicivirus release around Bagdad/Mangalore and Pontville area on March 3rd, 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to manage wild rabbit populations.
These releases aim to provide relief to landowners and land managers by reducing rabbit numbers. However, as calicivirus is a naturally occurring virus, its success in the environment cannot be guaranteed. While Biosecurity Tasmania has chosen the most suitable time for this release, there will always be a percentage of rabbits that remain unaffected. Research indicates that without further management, surviving rabbits can rapidly repopulate under favourable conditions.
