Abstract
The history, ecology and genetics of the European rabbit and the two viruses, myxoma virus and calicivirus, used to control the rabbit in Australia offer a useful set of parallels and insights into the behaviour of such systems. In this review, the process of invasion of Australia by the rabbit and the consequent invasions of the Australian rabbit population by myxoma virus and a calicivirus are described.
