In rabbits, DEGs were enriched in metabolic pathways, haematopoietic cell lineage, S. aureus infection, phagosome, transcriptional misregulation in cancer, Epstein–Barr virus infection, leishmaniasis, viral myocarditis and PI3K‐Akt signalling pathway (Figure 8B). This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and viral myocarditis.
