Thanks for reaching out. A veterinary confirmation of this is recommended by presenting a fresh carcass to a veterinary clinic or state diagnostic laboratory. Control of this disease is prevention of access of the rabbits to the feces of canids and other carnivores. Rabbits are the intermediate host of this parasites, with the eggs transmitted in the feces of carnivores, with feces contaminating grasses, which the rabbits eat. Control of forage for the rabbits might also be preventative. Once the rabbits have a large infestation, killing the parasite is difficult. Good luck.
