IP71 A vine called kudzu (Pueraria /obata) was deliberately imported from Japan to the United States, where it faces no serious threats from herbivores, pathogens, or competitor plants.

It seemed like a good idea to use it to control erosion on hills and highway embankments in the southeastern United States.

This virus causes myxomatosis.

This is a name for a resident of an established community that was deliberately or accidentally moved from its home range and became established elsewhere.

In temperate parts of Asia, it is a well-behaved legume with a well-developed root system.

The rabbits died quickly and relatively painlessly 'from blood clots in their lungs, hearts, and kidneys.

Vines now blanket streambanks, trees, telephone poles, houses, and almost everything else in their path.

You know where they've been; they transform grasslands and shrublands into eroded deserts.

But, as you might expect, natural selection has since favored rapid growth of populations of 0. cuniculus resistant to the virus.

released a population of rabbits that they had injected with a calcivirus.

More often, they make native species endangered species, which by definition are extremely vulnerable to extinction.

[Q] Also, kudzu may eventually help reduce logging operations.

Kudzu could reach the Great Lakes by the year 2040.

Grazing goats and herbicides help, but goats eat other plants, too, and herbicides contaminate water supplies.

Even when all-out assaults reduced their population size by 70 percent, the rapidly reproducing imports made a comeback in less than a year.

Their warrens have been plowed under, fumigated, and dynamited.

During the 1800s, British settlers in Australia just couldn't J:)6(l<:1 with the koalas and kangaroos, so they started to import familiar animals from their homeland.

Biting insects, mainly mosquitoes and fleas, quickly transmit the virus from host to host.

Attempts to dig up or burn kudzu are futile.

At this writing, researchers are now questioning whether the calcivirus should be used on a widespread scale, whether it can jump boundaries and infect animals other than rabbits (such as humans), and what the long-term consequences will be.

No. Rabbits made it to the other side before workers finished the fence.

It has been killing 80 to 95 percent of the adult rabbits in Australian regions.

Good food and good sport hunting-that was the idea.

Of all species on the rare or endangered lists or that recently became extinct, close to 70 percent owe their precarious existence or demise to displacement by exotic species.

Did the construction of a 2,000-mile-long fence protect western Australia?

In 1859, in what would be the start of a wholesale disaster, a northern Australian landowner imported and then released two dozen wild European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

Now Australia has 200 to 300 million hippityhopping through the southern half of the country.
