Histo-Blood Group Antigens Act as Attachment Factors of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Infection in a Virus Strain-Dependent Manner

Summary of the RHDV strains specificities for ABH antigens.
The size of the A, B and H letters represents the level of expression in the rabbit duodenum and the volume and color intensities of the ovals correspond to the ability of each strain to recognize the epitopes. The strains shown above the ABH antigens (G2–G5) serially replaced each other in France (G2: 1988–1990; G3: 1990–1997; G4: 1993–1999; G5: 1994–2009), whereas those shown below evolved independently.
