Koi Herpes virus

Koi Herpes virus is an important pathogen of Koi carp. This is highly contagious causing an acute gill disease causing high mortality. Disease is prevalent at temperatures over 18⁰C. Although histopathology may identify inclusion bodies, the rapid autolysis of the fish and its gills may limit the usefulness of this technique. The detection of Koi-specific Herpes virus is possible by means of PCR.

Sample material: gill swab, organ tissue (whole or part of body) 

Blood Profile
