Questions 5 -8
Read the following passage and answer the Questions
Biological Rabbit
Rabbits are eaten in most European countries; and some of the early settlers in Australia introduced rabbits into that country as meat was hard to obtain. The European rabbit has many natural enemies which prevent the rabbit population from growing, but in Australia it had no such enemies. Rabbits breed very easily, with the result that very soon their numbers in Australia became enormous. They caused a great deal of damage by making holes in the ground to live in and eating up the grass and other plants which were needed to feed the sheep and other cattle that were a great source of wealth to Australia.

Scientists discovered that a disease called myxomatosis was fatal to rabbits and to no other animals. They also found out that it was possible to spread the disease by infecting a few other animals and letting them loose in places where rabbits were enormous. It was also discovered that a certain type of mosquito could carry the disease and the infection could be spread by means of mosquitoes. So it happened that while other countries tried to destroy mosquitoes, Australia encouraged these species. By these means, myxomatosis was spread rapidly all over the country and the rabbit population was greatly reduced.
