Loading... Carp edema virus in Polish aquaculture -genetic aspects.

What is it about?

This is the first report of the circulation of CEV in Polish aquaculture and the first phylogenetic analysis of Polish CEV variants. This work provides new data about presence, distribution and genetics of carp edema virus in Poland and will contribute to a better understanding of pathways that have led to the transmission of the virus throughout Europe.

Why is it important?

Koi sleepy disease, as well as koi herpes virus infection, is currently of major concern to common carp and ornamental koi carp breeders in Europe, and it is of great importance from an epidemiological point of view not only to test and confirm the presence of CEV infection in European countries, but also to determine the spread of the disease in koi and common carp farms.
