A shared unusual genetic change at the chemokine receptor type 5 between Oryctolagus, Bunolagus and Pentalagus

2011-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Whereas in most leporid species studied the effects of exposure to Myxoma virus (MV) are benign, in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) it causes an epizootic disease with particularly high mortality rates, known as myxomatosis. Chemokine receptors are known to play an important role in infection by large DNA viruses such as MV, by acting as portals for viral entry into the host cell. As with the human imm...
