The brush rabbit is the sole carrier of myxoma virus in North American because other native lagomorphs, including cottontail rabbits and hares, are incapable of transmitting the disease.[4][1] Clinical signs of myxomatosis depend on the strain of virus, the route of inoculation, and the immune status of the host.
Myxoma is a rare, benign stromal tumor of mesenchymal origin often confused with other conjunctival stromal tumors. Conjunctival myxomas are thought to originate in Tenon's capsule and can masquerade as conjunctival lymphoma , lymphangioma , ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), or amelanotic melanoma .
Brush rabbits are a natural carrier of the myxoma virus, a poxvirus in the genus Leporipoxvirus. This virus causes only a mild disease in brush rabbits, but causes a severe and usually fatal disease called myxomatosis in European (pet) rabbits. The disease is usually transmitted from one rabbit to another by biting insects. [10]
Myxoma virus is a poxvirus in the genus Leporipoxvirus. The two broad geographic types of myxoma virus are Californian and South American. Californian myxoma virus is found on the West Coast of the United States, the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, and the southwest coast of Canada.
A legal vaccine exists in Australia for RHD, but no cure is known for either myxomatosis or RHD, and many affected pets have to be euthanized. In Europe, where rabbits are farmed on a large scale, they are protected against myxomatosis and calicivirus with a genetically modified virus [38] developed in Spain.
Myxomatosis is a virus disease of rabbits which can be fatal. The symptoms are swelling of the eyelids and lips, conjunctivitis and the formation of skin tumours on the face, ears and limbs. The rabbit flea acts as a vector for the disease and the virus has been shown to remain viable in the flea's mouthparts for at least one hundred days. [5]
Myxomatosis, "wild rabbitpox", an infectious disease of wild rabbits; Pigeonpox, an infectious disease of pigeons; Plumpox, the most devastating viral disease of stone fruit from the genus “Prunus” Quokkapox a disease caused by the Quokkapox virus, also called marsupialpox; Rabbitpox, an iatrogenic infectious disease of laboratory rabbits
The LAMB acronym refers to lentigines, atrial myxomas, and blue nevi. [1] NAME refers to nevi, atrial myxoma, myxoid neurofibromas, and ephelides. [1]Testicular cancer, particularly Sertoli cell type, is associated with Carney syndrome. [7]
