Intraguild killing (such as lions killing leopards or cheetahs) has been described in multiple species. Perhaps interesting; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34816428/ (Still need to read it)

Post exposure vaccination alone is not sufficient to prevent death for all cases. Immunoglobulins (HRIG) must also be administered. HRIG is not commonly available in many developing countries or rural areas. This is why preexposure vaccinat

It depends. It’s hard to model and even think about the selection pressures accurately. West Nile virus showed a marked increase in virulence in corvids recently as did rabbit hemorrhagic disease. And let’s not forget about Mareks disease,
