“…Molecular characterisation of C. cuniculus was first conducted on rabbit faecal samples from the Czech Republic (Ryan et al., 2003) and C. cuniculus was formally re-described as a species in 2010 (Robinson et al., 2010). Since then, it has been described from rabbits across a wide geographic area including Australia, China, the UK, the Czech Republic, Poland, France and Nigeria (Ryan et al., 2003, Nolan et al., 2010, Shi et al., 2010, Chalmers et al., 2011, Zhang et al., 2012, Nolan et al., 2013, Liu et al., 2014, Koehler et al., 2014, Puleston et al., 2014; Zahedi et al., 2015).…”
