Two, but only one in realnumbers. Oryctolagus cuniculus and Lepus
capensis. Your welcome to the lot of 'em ;-)

The virus is myxoma and it is vectored by the Culex annulirostris and
Anopheles annulipes mosquitos. Thus it would have to move to a new vector
species, and a new host at the same time. Much less likely that a
single hop to just a new host.
