Atypical myxomatosis in European rabbits is caused by the recombinant myxoma virus involved in species jumping into hares

2026-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Myxoma virus (MYXV), a member of the Leporipoxvirus genus (species Leporipoxvirus myxoma; family Poxviridae ), causes a highly lethal disease known as myxomatosis in European rabbits. In late 2018, a new natural MYXV isolate, MYXV-Tol (a.k.a. hare MYXV; ha-MYXV), emerged and caused myxomatosis-like disease with high mortality in Iberian hares, European brown hares, and European rabbits. This variant contains an...
