Abstract
The biology of poxviruses which infect domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on one member of the Orthopoxvirus genus, rabbitpox virus, and three members of the Leporipoxvirus genus, Shope fibroma virus, myxoma virus and malignant rabbit fibroma virus. Recent advances in the molecular biology of these viruses and their interactions with target cells in vivo and in vitro are highlighted.
