However, in 2005 the UK Land Registry conducted a survey of 16,000 hectares (62 sq mi) of its land and reported that the rabbit population had increased three-fold every two years, likely a product of increasing genetic resistance to the virus.

However, within four months it became clear that the virus had escaped from his estate, the corpse of an infected rabbit having been found 50 km (30 miles) away.

Britain, and beyond. The effect on the rabbit population of France was dramatic. In the hunting season covering the year of the release of the virus, 1952–1953, the total number of rabbits killed in 25 hunts exceeded 55 million; the figure for 1956–1957 was just 1.3 million, a 98% reduction.
