Unusual Rabbit Mutations and the 'Zombie' Disease Phenomenon

A disease caused by Cottontail Rabbit Papillomavirus (CRPV) has been reported in rabbits in Colorado and Washington, giving them a 'zombie-like' appearance with rough, red lesions. The virus is not new, does not harm rabbits unless it interferes with eating, and cannot spread to other species, including pets. It primarily affects wild rabbits and is not a threat to humans or other animals.
