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.

Can you reuse a rabbit cage after the rabbits have died of myxomatosis?

There shouldn't be a problem with reusing the cage because any future rabbits that go in the cage should be vaccinated against myxomatosis. All pet rabbits who live in areas where there's myxomatosis should be vaccinated. The vaccine is the only way to protect your rabbit against myxomatosis. Myxomatosis is spread by mosquitos and fleas: there's really no way to keep these away from your rabbit (even netting and screens aren't very effective).
