An Update On The Biological Control Of Rabbits, Stuart Wheeler
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
When myxomatosis was introduced into Western Australia in the early 1950s, farmers, pastoralists and government alike thought it was an answer to the rabbit problem.
The disease was devastatingly effective in the short term and initially had a 99 per cent kill rate. With time, the virus declined in strength, and the surviving rabbits have multiplied.
There have been many recent reports about new forms of biological control for rabbits and potential improvements in old ones.
This article summarises each of the prospective methods and improvements, and assesses the potential usefulness of each.
