Listeriosis is a bacterial blood infection caused by the bacteria species Listeria monocytogenes (commonly known as listeria) that can be found in soil, water and mud. Listeria monocytogenes spread via the blood to the liver, spleen and gravid uterus. Fortunately, listeria infections are uncommon in rabbit because they cause severe symptoms that are often not treatable. Listeria has a preference for pregnant rabbits. Symptoms include anorexia, depress, weight loss, naturally occurring uterine infections (metritis and pyometra), late-term abortions, stillbirths and death of the doe. Because it is believed to usually be spread through contaminated feed, it can cause outbreaks in breeding colonies. Poor husbandry and stress may initiate  the disease. A necropsy may reveal multiple pinpoint, gray-white foci.
