MYXOMATOSIS EXAMPLE. “The classic example is the European rabbit–myxoma virus system in which, after the virus was introduced into a naïve rabbit population, phenotypic changes were observed in both pathogen and host components of virulence. The rapid, initial attenuation of the virus presumably represents adaptation to a novel host. But subsequent slower increases in both virus pathogenicity and the ability of the host to survive infection are consistent with co-evolution.”
