Journal ArticleDOI
Coevolution of host and virus: the pathogenesis of virulent and attenuated strains of myxoma virus in resistant and susceptible European rabbits.
Sonja M. Best,Peter J. Kerr +1 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that resistance to myxoma virus is due to an enhanced innate immune response that allows the rabbit to mount an effective cellular immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposal for a unified classification system and nomenclature of lagoviruses.

Esteves +54 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that an international working group could coordinate the nomenclature of lagoviruses and any proposals for revision and be divided into two genogroups that correspond to RHDV- and EBHSV-related viruses, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune responses to myxoma virus.
Peter J. Kerr,Grant McFadden +1 more
TL;DR: The more limited knowledge of the pathogenesis of the myxoma virus in rabbits and the ways that the consolidated immune responses may determine genetic resistance to myxomatosis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coevolution of host and virus: cellular localization of virus in myxoma virus infection of resistant and susceptible European rabbits.
TL;DR: Differences between virulent and attenuated viruses in the wild and laboratory rabbits were predominantly in the degree of tissue pathology in the draining lymph nodes and distal lymph node and in the type of inflammatory responses, particularly in the skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of rabbit IL-4 by recombinant myxoma viruses enhances virulence and overcomes genetic resistance to myxomatosis
Peter J. Kerr,Harvey D. Perkins,Harvey D. Perkins,B. Inglis,B. Inglis,R. Stagg,R. Stagg,Eileen A. McLaughlin,Eileen A. McLaughlin,S.V Collins,S.V Collins,B. H. van Leeuwen,B. H. van Leeuwen +12 more
TL;DR: A model for resistance to myxomatosis of an enhanced innate immune response controlling virus replication and allowing an effective antiviral cell-mediated immune response to develop in resistant rabbits is supported.
