Outbreak - Sunrise Ferreting 5

A warm winter has allowed a terrible virus to break out, infecting many rabbit populations.

Myxomatosis was discovered in South America during the late 1800's. It was intentionally introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control the problematic rabbit population. Two years later the disease was introduced into France and found its way into Britain a short while after. It's unknown whether it was intentionally introduced into the UK, but once in the country, it was certainly encouraged to spread.

The virus is transmitted through biting insects. Mosquitoes spread the disease over large distances in warmer climates. In the UK rabbit fleas and tics are mainly to blame as they carry the disease on their mouth parts from rabbit to rabbit.

The symptoms include puffiness and swelling around the head, mouth, eyes and genitals. Infected rabbits often seem slow, weak and unaware of their surroundings. As it continues the rabbits develop a fever, struggle to eat and can go blind. The disease takes hold within days and kills most rabbits in under fourteen days as they develop pneumonia.

Humans, dogs and ferrets cannot catch myxomatosis as the disease exclusively infects rabbits. Infected rabbits that are found should be humanly dispatched and preferably buried to prevent present parasites from moving on.
