Myxomatosis was not 'designed,' it is a naturally occurring disease which affects rabbits. It was however deliberately spread at one time to reduce the rabbit populations in several countries.

Myxomatosis was intentionally designed to disable rabbits as a way to control their population. The virus causes severe symptoms, such as swelling, blindness, and ultimately death. It was introduced as a biological control measure to reduce the number of rabbits, which were considered pests in certain regions.
