RossM 7,979 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Myxi here too, not seen it in the 5 years I've been here.. Quote Link to post
Lid 194 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I was taught in school that the myxy cycle is around 10 years, if I remember right. After the first blast whenever that was, the rabbits that survived were immune and produce immune offspring. Over a 10 year period, enough have lost this immunity through mutations and the cycle starts again, killing off many and leaving only those few with immunity. These then produce more immune ones, but slowly they begin to produce some non immune offspring, and so on forever. He didn't cover whether the potency of the disease changes though, but I think that comes into the mix too. Quote Link to post
