Rabbits were tested for RHDV2 when the owner contacted the department of agriculture after 5 out of 19 rabbits died suddenly. Additional rabbits have since died and the farm is quarantined. Surviving rabbits were euthanized. No press release issued by PDA, but Pennsylvania Game Commission issued one: https://www.media.pa.gov/Pages/game-commission-details.aspx?newsid=556
