Live viral vaccine,
To stimulate immunity against myxoma virus and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus. The vaccine strain is a myxoma virus expressing the capsid protein gene of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus. As a consequence rabbits are immunised against both myxoma virus and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus. After infection with virulent myxoma virus some vaccinated animals may develop a few very small swellings, especially on hairless places of the body, which quickly form scabs.The scabs usually disappear within 2 weeks after the small swellings have been observed. These scabs are only observed in animals with active immunity and have no influence on the general health, appetite or behaviour of the rabbit.
