Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a virus that mainly infects goats and sheep causing significant economic loss in Africa and Asia, but also posing a serious threat to Europe, as recent outbreaks in Georgia (2016) and Bulgaria (2018) have been reported. In order to carry out the eradication of PPRV, an objective set for 2030 by the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), close collaboration between governments, pharmaceutical companies, farmers and researchers, among others, is needed. Today, more than ever, as seen in the response to the SARS-CoV2 pandemic that we are currently experiencing, these goals are feasible. We summarize in this review the current vaccination approaches against PPRV in the field, discussing their advantages and shortfalls, as well as the development and generation of new vaccination strategies, focusing on the potential use of adenovirus as vaccine platform against PPRV and more broadly against other ruminant pathogens.

Abstract
Since the early 1980s, the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has been threatened by the rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD). The disease is caused by a lagovirus of the family Caliciviridae, the rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). The need for detection, identification and further characterization of RHDV led to the development of several diagnostic tests. Owing to the lack of an appropriate cell culture system for in vitro propagation of the virus, much of the methods involved in these tests contributed to our current knowledge on RHD and RHDV and to the development of vaccines to contain the disease. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the RHDV diagnostic tests used since the first RHD outbreak and that include molecular, histological and serological techniques, ranging from simpler tests initially used, such as the hemagglutination test, to the more recent and sophisticated high-throughput sequencing, along with an overview of their potential and their limitations.

Abstract
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a highly contagious infection that has caused significant damage to the rabbit industry since 1984. Inactivated vaccines, the currently used prevention measures, are effective in controlling RHD. However, these vaccines are derived from the livers of infected rabbits, which constitutes a major concern in terms of animal welfare and safety. Administration of DNA vaccines in collaboration with appropriate adjuvants, in particular, cytokines, to strengthen the immune response presents a novel optimization strategy to generate more efficient vaccines. In this study, the adjuvant effect of interleukin (IL)-2 co-expression with the VP60 gene in a DNA vaccine was evaluated. In total, four groups of 60 RHD virus (RHDV)-free rabbits (30 days old) were orally or subcutaneously administered recombinant SL7207-pVAX1-IL2-VP60, SL7207-pVAX1-VP60, SL7207-pVAX1 bacteria or the commercial inactive vaccine, and the induced immunity evaluated by challenge with the RHDV(Y8504/China) strain on day 56. The Recombinant SL7207-pVAX1-IL2-VP60 induced a higher level of antibodies than the vaccine SL7207-pVAX1-VP60 and inactivated vaccines to a significant extent. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-4 were markedly higher than those in groups immunized with the naked or inactive vaccine alone. Furthermore, the fusion gene vaccine provided higher protection (93.33%) after virus challenge relative to immunization with the single gene (SL7207-pVAX1-VP60). The collective results indicate that recombinant SL7207-pVAX1-IL-2-VP60 bacteria exert enhanced protective effects against RHDV and therefore present a strong candidate as a potential vaccine. Moreover, IL-2 enhanced both humoral and cellular responses, highlighting the utility of rabbit IL-2 as an effective adjuvant.

Abstract
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is responsible for rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD), which is an acute, lethal and highly contagious disease in both wild and domestic rabbits. Although current vaccines are highly effective for controlling RHD, they are derived from infected rabbit livers and their use is thus associated with safety and animal-welfare concerns. In this study, we generated a recombinant lentogenic canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV2) vector expressing the RHDV vp60 gene, named rCAV2-VP60. rCAV2-VP60 expressed VP60 protein in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells as demonstrated by western blot and immunofluorescence assay. Polymerase chain reaction confirmed that the vp60 gene was successfully inserted into rCAV2-VP60 and was still detectable after 20 passages, indicating its stable genetic character. We evaluated the feasibility of rCAV2-VP60 as a live-virus-vectored RHD vaccine in rabbits. rCAV2-VP60 significantly induced specific antibodies to RHDV and provided effective protection against RHDV lethal challenge. These results suggest that rCAV2 expressing RHDV VP60 could be a safe and efficient candidate vaccine against RHDV in rabbits.

Abstract
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a contagious disease in adult rabbits, with high mortality, that occurs throughout the world. The VP60 protein has been implicated as main protein antigen in virus diagnosis and vaccine design. In this report, we describe the construction of a novel DNA vaccine (pcDNA-VP60) expressing the RHDV capsid protein (VP60), and the expression of the recombinant protein was identified through indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and Western blot assay. VP60 protein self-assembled to form virus-like particles (VLPs) observed by electron microscopy were morphologically similar to native virions. For the evaluation of vaccine efficacy, rabbits were inoculated with PBS, pcDNA3.1((+)), pcDNA-VP60 or RHDV inactive vaccine. They were challenged with RHDV-TP isolate four weeks after last boost immunization. In all cases, the rabbits immunized with pcDNA-VP60 developed high level of RHDV-specific antibodies and cellular immune response. The rabbits injected with DNA vaccine were completely protected against RHDV challenge like commercial RHDV inactive vaccine, moreover, RHDV viral load was significantly reduced in the liver samples from immunized rabbits. The recombinant DNA vaccine may provide a novel strategy for the immunization of rabbits for the control of RHDV.

Abstract
The use of attenuated Salmonella typhimurium as a bactofection vehicle for the oral delivery of a DNA vaccine against rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) was investigated. The DNA vaccine plasmid pcDNA3.1-VP60, which encodes the viral capsid protein VP60, was transformed into the attenuated S. typhimurium strain SL7207. The resulting recombinant bacteria, named as SL/pcDNA3.1-VP60, were orally used to immunise rabbits. The successful delivery of the DNA plasmid was confirmed by the detected VP60 transcription in the rabbit intestines through the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In addition, the RHDV-specific humoral and cell-mediated immune response that was induced by SL/pcDNA3.1-VP60 was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as well as the assays for T lymphocyte proliferation and cytokines secretion. The significant protection of immunised rabbits against the RHDV strain XA/China/2010 at 42 d post-immunisation was demonstrated. This study is the first report about the efficient usage of attenuated Salmonella as a live vector for the oral delivery of a DNA vaccine against RHDV.
