Causative agent of myxomatosis
Myxoma virus
Characteristics of myxoma virus
Family Poxviridae, genus Leporipoxvirus Enveloped double stranded DNA virus
Clinical signs of myxomatosis
Oryctolagus - mucinous skin lesions and tumors, edema around mouth, nose, anus, genitals progressive conjunctivitis
Epizootiology of myxoma virus
Oryctolagus particularly susceptible flea and mosquito vectors, direct contact Sylvilagus and Lepus spp. naturally susceptible
Pathogenesis of myxomatosis
immunomodulatory proteins inhibit apoptosis, leukocyte chemotaxis, leukocyte activation
Pathology of myxomatosis
myxomas - undifferentiated stellate mesenchymal cells embedded in mucinous matrix with capillaries and inflammatory cells
Diagnosis of myxomatosis
PCR, ELISA, culture virus from tissue
Differential diagnosis of myxomatosis
In Sylvilagus, lesions indistinguishable from rabbit fibroma virus - fibroma. Inoculate Oryctolagus with material to determine if it is myxoma virus (fatal) or fibroma virus (fibroma)
Characteristics of Shope fibroma virus
Family Poxviridae, genus Leporipoxvirus similar to myxoma virus Enveloped, double stranded DNA virus
Epizootiology of Shope fibroma virus
endemic in wild rabbits - causes fibromas skin tumors in domestic rabbits arthropod vectors spontaneously regress
Clinical signs of Shope fibroma virus
flat, subcutaneous, easily movable tumors on legs and face
Characteristics of rabbit pox virus
Family Poxviridae, genus Orthopoxvirus
Clinical signs of rabbit pox virus
fever nasal discharge eye lesions - blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis widespread skin lesions - macules/papules rash enlarged lymph nodes, facial edema

Family Papovaviridae, genus Kappapapilomavirus nonenveloped double stranded DNA virus
Clinical signs of Shope papilloma virus
horny warts an the neck, shoulders abdomen
Epizootiology of Shope papilloma virus
widespread geographic distribution SCC in Sylvilagus spp. arthropod vector
Characteristics of rabbit rotavirus
Family Reoviridae, group A, serotype 3 Nonenveloped double stranded RNA virus
Clinical signs of rabbit rotavirus
anorexia, dehydration, watery to mucoid diarrhea, death
