Novel Trivalent Vectored Vaccine for Control of Myxomatosis and Disease Caused by Classical and a New Genotype of Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus

Vaccines, 2020
Myxoma virus (MV) and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) are the major causes of lethal viral diseases in the European rabbit. In 2010, a new RHDV genotype (RHDV2) emerged in the field that had limited cross-protection with the classical RHDV ...

Myxomatosis in Britain [PDF]

Nature, 1960
IN his article, Dr. C. H. Andrewes1 directs attention to the contrast between the host/vector relationship in Britain and Australia. When we have acquired further information about the biology of the rabbit flea (Spilopsyllus cuniculi) and also other possible arthropod vectors, we may find that a somewhat different set of factors comes into operation ...

The role of livestock grazing in long-term vegetation changes in coastal dunes: a case study from the Netherlands [PDF]

Plant Sociology, 2023
The vegetation of coastal sand dunes is characterized by high species diversity and comprises some of the rarest vegetation types in North-Western Europe. Among them are dune grassland communities whose species richness relies on grazing.

Detection of myxoma virus in the classical form of myxomatosis using an AGID assay: statistical assessment of the assay’s diagnostic performance

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2020
The aim of the study was to estimate the diagnostic sensitivity (DSe) and specificity (DSp) of an agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) assay for detection of myxoma virus (MYXV) in the classical form of myxomatosis and to compare its diagnostic performance to

The α2,3-sialyltransferase encoded by myxoma virus is a virulence factor that contributes to immunosuppression.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Myxoma virus (MYXV) induces a lethal disease called Myxomatosis in European rabbits. MYXV is one of the rare viruses that encodes an α2,3-sialyltransferase through its M138L gene.
