Don't be red-faced too long: "the only stupid question is the one we never asked". Now I had thought this was spelled chukkar, but on having LIU find you have given me the lesson of a new variant, so thanks!

"a Japanese graduate student who had managed to infect rabbits with syphilis."

Dr Bill, I'm still thinking about this one...

The Japanese graduate student in question was a genuine scientific pioneer, wrongfully denied the credit he deserved. And surely you are not hinting that bestiality with a rabbit is possible? A medical missionary to what is now Vietnam warned us not to eat duck over there, as the cooks routinely copulate with the abominable cavity thereof. But he never mentioned rabbits in that connection.(sic, again.)
