- Myxomatosis is a disease primarily affecting rabbits, caused by the myxoma virus. It is prevalent in both domestic and wild rabbits. The disease often leads to the formation of lumps around the ears and face. Infected rabbits typically die within a few days to two weeks, with a near 100% fatality rate. At present, no effective treatment exists for myxomatosis.
