Divergent Evolutionary Pathways of Myxoma Virus in Australia: Virulence Phenotypes in Susceptible and Partially Resistant Rabbits Indicate Possible Selection for Transmissibility

P. J. Kerr, I. M. Cattadori, D. G. SIm, J. Liu, E. C. Holmes, A. F. Read

This study examines the evolution of myxoma virus in Australian rabbits through experimental infections, revealing diverse virulence phenotypes and suggesting selection for transmissibility over inflammation.

Punctuated evolution of myxoma virus: rapid and disjunct evolution of a recent viral lineage in Australia

P. J. Kerr, J.-S. Eden, F. Di Giallonardo, D. Peacock, J. Liu, T. Strive, A. F. Read, E. C. Holmes

This paper shows that Myxoma virus in Australia experienced a sudden evolutionary change with a faster mutation rate and disrupted clock-like evolution between 1996 and 2012, likely due to environmental changes affecting rabbit populations.
