When a virus from one species is able to survive in a different species, at first it is often quite virulent in the new species. For example, the myxoma virus causes little problem in the South American forest rabbit, its longstanding host, but it was devastating when introduced among European rabbits in Australia. As the virus rampages through the new species, susceptible individuals are killed, whereas the resistant ones survive and reproduce, and eventually virulence declines, as in the case of myxomatosis in Australia.
