Australia Fights Rabbit Plague With New Virus
Australians long at war with rabbits gain hope from a virus called Myxomatosis that targets rabbits but harms no other creatures. The virus spreads via insects and causes swelling breathing difficulty and death in rabbits, potentially reducing a billion to two billion rodents threatening sheep ranches.

A veterinary expert warns myxomatosis will wipe out rabbits in Australia, with Harvey as a lone survivor. Ranchers release mocu to combat mosquitoes in irrigation zones where outbreaks are worst. Disease spread may involve fleas. summer mosquito activity limits reach. Rabbits multiply explosively since 1778, threatening the sheep industry and prompting calls that the rabbit must go to save farming livelihoods.
