As far as I know the only disease we can pass to rabbits is herpes.
My dad got rabbit fever from getting the blood of a rabbit into a cut. Says it's ugly.

They say it's a hazard to laboratory staff, plus they got some gruelsome pictures.

no. not unless the rabbit has rabies, but it would die to quick for it to have the chance to bite you
