黏液瘤病是一种由黏液瘤病毒感染引起的欧洲野生兔和家兔（小兔）的疾病，这种病毒在南美洲和加利福尼亚的一些Sylvilagus兔种中自然发现。山竹属植物很少表现出临床症状。然而，粘液瘤病传入澳大利亚（1950年）、欧洲大陆（1952年）、英国（1953年）和爱尔兰（1954年）。这是作为野生欧洲兔的一种控制方法。在英国，最初的死亡率为99%。粘液瘤病通常是在宿主兔子之间传播的，当病毒颗粒附着在叮咬昆虫媒介的穿刺口器上时。在英国，兔蚤是该疾病最重要的媒介。在某些情况下，其他吸血昆虫可能作为病媒发挥次要作用。
MYXOMATOSIS is a disease of wild European and domestic rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) caused by infection with myxoma virus, which is found naturally in some Sylvilagus rabbit species of South America and California. Sylvilagus species show few clinical signs. However, myxomatosis was introduced into Australia (1950), continental Europe (1952), Great Britain (1953) and Ireland (1954). This was as a control method for wild European rabbits. The initial mortality in Great Britain was 99 per cent. Myxomatosis is normally transmitted between host rabbits when virus particles adhere to the piercing mouthparts of a biting insect vector. In Great Britain the rabbit flea ( Spilopsyllus cuniculi ) is the most important vector of the disease. Other blood-sucking insects may play a minor role as vectors in some circumstances.
Myxomatosis has rarely been reported in the European brown hare ( Lepus europaeus ). Initial experimental inoculation in 1937 of wild-caught brown hares in Australia using virulent myxoma virus from rabbits failed to elicit disease …
