Experimental infections of different carp strains with the carp edema virus (CEV) give insights into the infection biology of the virus and indicate possible solutions to problems caused by koi sleepy disease (KSD) in carp aquaculture

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mikolaj Adamek from the Live common carp (n=17, mean weight of , ± , g) showing clinical signs characteristic of KSD (lethargic, "sleepy" behaviour, swollen gills, enophthalmos) were collected from the stock of a German carp breederThis stock was suffering mass mortality and was confirmed several days earlier as infected with CEV from the genogroup I by means of an end-point PCR developed by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, CEFAS, UK [15] and subsequent sequencing of the PCR product (see Additional file , for sequence alignment and Additional file , for phylogeny). The carp were transported . . .
