What kinds of vaccines are applied to protect breeding-rabbits against myxomatosis?
The best results have been observed by administering a heterologous vaccine as the primo-vaccination, when one-month-old, and a homologous vaccine, 2 or 2.5 months later. Later semi-annual revaccinations with homologous vaccines protect does throughout their lifetime. The exclusive administration of heterologous vaccines is recommended when infection pressure is low, while if it is high, homologous vaccines may be used.
