The virus does its thing but it has to activate with the right conditions and the rabbits build imunity. They geylt back to large numbers as the new vuris and the other one that was mysteriously realised by accident only are effective where its wet all the time. The climate here is semi arid to arid. Footholds are illegal in west oz for rabbits its a ridiculous law but poisoning is enforced by government as its cost effective and does stuff all. I do use rubber jaw legholds on foxes and feral cats as they're both introduced and have caused extinctions to native animals. -

When the undergrowth and branches die they create thick piles of sharp deadwood and with the introduced African boxthorn creates a haven for rabbits. Hills and open farmland with deep sandy soils and valleys and massive boulder rock piles eastward to sandplains and pure desert all of which the rabbit has dominated in its ecological

I use greyhound x kelpie/collie and a terrier x. Both were just young pound dogs I got around 7 months old. The terrier is needed in a lot of the bush I trap in rabbits come up and hide in boxthorns etc. Smaller dog pushes them out easy. And has caught rabbits hiding in boxthorns , dead tree piles on his own.
