Myxomatosis (sometimes shortened to "myxi" or "myxo") is a disease which affects rabbits. It is caused by the Myxoma virus. First observed in Uruguay in the late 1800s. It was introduced illegally to Egypt in 1842 and as a result spread to the rest of Africa. It was deliberately introduced into Australia in 1950 in an attempt to control rabbit infestation and population there; see rabbits in Australia. It was also deliberately introduced in the UK to try and reduce the rabbit population after World War II.
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 practice was introduced in the 1920s and had gained widespread acceptance by the 1950s

Following the introduction of Myxomatosis to control rabbits in the 1950s, the importance of the Rabbit Proof Fence diminished. so it is probably not being looked after any longer.
I assume you mean "When was the first operating system introduced?" Seems to be in the 1950s. See the link below for a very detailed page.
Farmers in Australia historically dealt with rabbit infestations through various methods, including trapping, shooting, and poisoning. The introduction of the myxoma virus in the 1950s was a significant biological control measure, drastically reducing rabbit populations. Additionally, the use of feral cats and foxes helped control their numbers. However, rabbits remain a persistent problem due to their rapid reproduction and adaptability.
Polio was a huge concern as well as tonsillitis and venereal disease.
