12.01.2022 MYXOMATOSIS IN AUSTRALIA & USA? Myxomatosis in RabbitsMyxomatosis is a viral infection of rabbits, caused by a member of the Poxvirus family. It is usually transmitted by insects and is usually fatal. In the United States, myxomatosis is most commonly seen along the Pacific coast. There are several strains of the virus. The virus that is present in the Western USA is referred to as the California strain of myxoma virus and possesses characteristics that differ slightly from o...ther strains. California strains have been known to cause over 99% mortality. The myxoma virus was introduced into Australia in 1950 and Belgium in 1953 in an attempt to reduce the population of wild rabbits. With time, the virus became less pathogenic (less able to cause disease) and in Australia, the mortality rate dropped to approximately 25% compared to over 90% when the virus was first introduced.
