A model for myxomatosis.

Abstract Myxomatosis is a viral disease used in the control of rabbit populations. On the basis of previously published data we construct a model for the transmission of myxomatosis and attempt to fit it to observations on an epidemic of the disease. The model is of the chain-binomial type in discrete time and includes fixed latent and infectious periods. Using a modification of homogeneous mixing, we obtain a reasonable fit to the data.
