Can you reuse a rabbit cage after the rabbits have died of myxomatosis?

There shouldn't be a problem with reusing the cage because any future rabbits that go in the cage should be vaccinated against myxomatosis.

Myxomatosis is spread by mosquitos and fleas: there's really no way to keep these away from your rabbit (even netting and screens aren't very effective).
