Widespread presence of novel gammaherpesviruses in lagomorph species (Oryctolagus cuniculus, Lepus spp. and Ochotona alpina)
These findings expand the current knowledge of herpesvirus diversity in lagomorphs. Given their potential role in immunosuppression and disease interactions, particularly with myxoma virus, further research is needed to assess their impact on host health and population dynamics.
