Declarations

: The authors declare no competing interests.
: Ethical review and approval were waived for this study that did not involve killing animals. The samples did not originate from experimental trials. Still, they took advantage of diagnostic activity conducted on found dead animals to ascertain the cause of death or as a control of the health status of regularly slaughtered rabbits for human meat consumption. Therefore, since the sampling was not specifically programmed as an experimental study but originating from diagnostic activity, we believed that it does not fall under the provisions of the National Law (e.g. DLSG 4/3 2014, n. 26. Application at the national level of the EU Directive 2010/63/UE) and no ethical approval or permit for animal experimentation was required.
