cause it did
Myxamatosis greatly rapidly reduces the population. This affects the food supply of all predators that feed on rabbits - including buzzards.
Myxomatosis was created by Australian scientists Frank Fenner and Mervyn Edwardes in the 1950s. They developed the disease as a biological control method to reduce the population of European rabbits, which were causing significant ecological damage in Australia. The virus used in the myxomatosis outbreak is derived from the Myxoma virus, originally found in South American rabbits.
The outbreak of myxomatosis primarily affected rabbit populations, which in turn influenced the food chain. a) Buzzards, as predators of rabbits, experienced a decline in their food source, potentially leading to a decrease in buzzard numbers. b) Deer, being herbivores, were less directly affected by the outbreak; however, changes in vegetation due to fewer rabbits could indirectly impact their habitat and food availability. c) Mice populations may have increased due to reduced competition for resources, as fewer rabbits could lead to an increase in available vegetation and shelter.
No. myxomatosis a viral pox specific to rabbits.
Myxomatosis primarily affects rabbits, causing severe illness and often death. It is not harmful to humans; the disease is specific to rabbits and does not pose a risk to human health. However, it can have significant ecological impacts by drastically reducing rabbit populations, which can affect the food chain and ecosystems. Overall, while myxomatosis is detrimental to rabbits, it is not a threat to people.
The deer population has grown tremendously.

Myxomatosis was first discovered in Uruguay in the early 20th century by researchers who were studying the disease in rabbits. The virus responsible for myxomatosis was identified by French scientist Maurice Arthus in 1904.

Myxomatosis cannot be treated, it is a disease which kills painfully and so it is usually kinder to euthanase the animal
