Myxomatosis Outbreaks 2010/2011

Hey all.

Can people please add CONFIRMED Myxomatosis outbreaks in their area with the date of first case.

This will help to warn people who have not vaccinated their rabbits and to consider minimising risks of contracting the disease.

Many thanks.

Several wildies with myxi were seen by one of our vets, at Beacon Hill, Leicester in April.

The Lincoln P&H has a warning up saying there have been several reported cases in the area and are advising people to vaccinate their rabbits.
 
My vet said last week that Oxfordshire is very bad for Myxi but VHD hasn't been heard of for a very long time.

Yep, the area is rife with it apparently. She had another bun pull through nodular myxi but this ones vaccine immunity hadn't developed in time. It's heartbreaking, he was only a baby. :(
 
I saw at least 4 wildies with myxi whilst staying with my grandparents over the easter weekend in Bucks fairly near to Milton Keynes
 
I've seen a couple of wildies that definitely had it recently- I'm just north of Swindon, so Swindon/ the Wiltshire- Gloucs border is probably a problem area :(
