Myxoma virus and the Leporipoxviruses: an evolutionary paradigm.

Viruses - 6 Mar 2015

Kerr Peter J, Liu June, Cattadori Isabella, Ghedin Elodie, Read Andrew F, Holmes Edward C

Abstract excerpt

Myxoma virus (MYXV) is the type species of the Leporipoxviruses, a genus of Chordopoxvirinae, double stranded DNA viruses, whose members infect leporids and squirrels, inducing cutaneous fibromas from which virus is mechanically transmitted by biting arthropods. However, in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), MYXV causes the lethal disease myxomatosis. The release of MYXV as a biological control for the...
