Enrichment and Reduction of Microsatellite Regions in the Myxoma Virus Genome Following Species Jump to the Iberian Hare (<i>Lepus granatensis</i>). [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisMyxoma virus (MYXV), the causative agent of myxomatosis, is endemic in wild populations of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). In 2018, the virus acquired four genes (M157L, M158L, M159L and M160L) from a yet unidentified source and gained the capacity to infect the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis).
