Disease
A disease is "a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms, or that affects a specific location and is not simply a direst result of physical injury." Bordetella, coccidiosis, conjunctivitis, and enteritis are some examples of diseases that affect rabbits.
Virus
A virus is "an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host." Myxomatosis, rabbitpox, rabbit fibroma virus, calcivirus, and papillomatosis are all examples of viruses in rabbits.
Parasite
A parasite is "an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense." Some examples of parasites in rabbits are fleas, ear mites, ticks, etc.
