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 ...

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.

Exposure to West Nile Virus in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Background West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed mosquito‐borne flavivirus. Over the past decade, its spread across Europe has raised significant concerns for both public and animal health. Although WNV exposure has been evidenced in various wild mammal species in Spain, no seroepidemiological studies have been conducted on this
