Can humans catch Myxomatosis?

No. To prove this, Dr Fenner inoculated himself with myxomatosis virus which was highly virulent for rabbits. Not a single sign of disease.


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. All pet rabbits who live in areas where there's myxomatosis should be vaccinated. The vaccine is the only way to protect your rabbit 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).


Can Myxomatosis still be present in rabbit hutch and garden area despite cleaning with jayes fluid?

Myxomatosis is spread mainly by fleas and mosquitos, so it doesn't matter how much you clean and disinfect: so long as fleas or mosquitos can get in, myxomatosis can get in. Because fleas and mosquitos can basically get in everywhere, it's recommended that people who have pet rabbits and live in an area where there's myxomatosis -- like the UK -- have their rabbits immunized (shots). Myxomatosis is not a risk everywhere: pet rabbits in Canada, for instance, do not need shots.


Can cats catch myxomatosis if they eat an infected rabbit?

Only rabbits can catch myxomatosis. Humans and other animals cannot catch it from eating the meat of an affected rabbit.
