Vets are urging owners of pet rabbits to vaccinate them against a virus to be released in Sydney's north to kill wild rabbits.

Rabbit Calicivirus, also known as Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV), will be released in chopped carrots to spread the virus among the wild population in a bid to protect native animals and plants.

The virus will kill domestic rabbits that are not vaccinated against it, says Jayne Weller of Sydney's Animal Referral Hospital.

It spreads quickly through rabbit-to-rabbit contact and through mosquitoes and other insects that bite rabbits.

The disease damages the rabbits' internal organs, such as the liver and gut, and can also cause haemorrhage or bleeding, Dr Weller said on Friday.

"The virus is released periodically every few years in different council areas and we are seeing a marked increase in the number of affected pet rabbit cases."

Dr Weller said rabbit owners could protect their pets by bringing them inside during mosquito prone times or keeping them in an insect-proof hutch if they were outside.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service says RHDV baits will be laid around northern Sydney in late March or early April.

For best protection, vaccination is recommended prior to March 1.

An ex-IT bod accused of masquerading as hacker "Demon Killer" to infiltrate PCs and send out a string of murderous threats in 2012 has protested his innocence at the opening of his trial in Tokyo District Court.

Yusuke Katayama, who was an employee at an unnamed technology company, was finally nabbed in February 2013 after allegedly leading Japans tech-illiterate police force a merry dance.

Hes accused of using online forums including the popular 2channel to infect users with the remote control virus iesys.exe.

He then allegedly used these proxy machines to send out abusive messages, which included bomb threats against a school and kindergarten attended by the Emperors grandchildren and a warning of an impending killing spree on the streets of Osaka.

Katayama also allegedly threatened to blow up a Japan Airlines flight to New York an incident which ended up costing JAL 9.75 million, according to Japan Times.

The accused caused much embarrassment for Japans National Police Agency.

Not only did they arrest and detain the owners of the hacked PCs, holding one for several weeks, before realising their mistake, but they were also led on a wild goose chase by Demon Killer.

This celebrated case involved police following a set of emailed riddles which finally led them to the island of Enoshima near Tokyo, where they found a cat.

Said feline had an SD card attached to its collar which contained a message claiming the culprit had been wronged by the police in the past.

7 hours ago This photo, released by the Department of Conservation New Zealand, shows a pod of beached killer whales at the remote Blue Cliffs Beach on the far south coast of the South Island, on February 12, 2014

A pod of nine killer whales died on Wednesday in a rare mass stranding on the New Zealand coast, in a loss conservationists said was a major blow to the local orca population.

The pod, comprising eight adults and one juvenile, beached themselves at the remote Blue Cliffs Beach on the far south coast of the South Island, Department of Conservation spokesman Reuben Williams said.

"By the time we were able to reach them they were all dead," he told AFP.

Mass strandings of pilot whales are common in New Zealand but Williams said it was unusual for so many orcas to run aground at the same time.

"We don't know the reason why they stranded (themselves)," he said.

"It's unfortunate and will have quite a major impact on the national population which is sitting around 200 animals."

Williams said the carcass of one whale had been retrieved for research and local Maori people, who consider the animals sacred, were being consulted about disposing of the rest.

Orcas, the largest members of the dolphin family with no natural predator, can grow to lengths of up to 9.8 metres (32 feet).

The black-and-white animals are the most widely distributed cetacean species in the world. They are highly sociable and live in pods of up to 50 members.

Kosair Childrens Hospital is warning parents about the dangers of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.

RSV is one of the top causes for hospitalizations for children under the age of 5.

For older people, its just a severe cold, but for infants its a respiratory infection that can kill.

Many of the doctors, all of the doctors in our practice and their nurse practitioners have admitted patients to the hospital and treated plenty of patients for RSV, said Dr. Claire Ellen Cowley.

RSV attacks in infants lower respiratory system causing severe breathing problems. It also causes a debilitating cough many doctors said sounds like a severe smokers cough. Theres fever, wheezing and sometimes vomiting.

Infants and toddlers who are 35 weeks or younger or have congenital heart conditions, are at risk. Like Harrison Withers, who was first thought to have had asthma,

"With his heart condition they told us to look and make sure his hands and feet were not turning blue. Well, Tuesday night after he had had his breathing treatment, his hands and feet had turned blue, said Amanda Withers.

If left untreated, a buildup of fluid quickly cuts off the airways.

"They're real congested and a lot of mucous is built up in their lungs, said Andrew Withers.

"It worried me because he was just lying there and you could just see his ribs, his stomach was pulling in and you could just see his ribs, he was working so hard, said Amanda Withers.
