- <p>In 1950, the CSIRO released the myxoma virus to combat Australia’s rampant rabbit population, in trials at five locations along the Murray River. The release was a huge success: within days, the myxomatosis disease had spread throughout the Murray River region, ultimately decimating Australia’s wild rabbit population in the following years. These trials had significant benefits for Australia’s agricultural and pastoral industries that had been devastated by rabbit overpopulation for decades.</p>
