Journal ArticleDOI

A Herpesvirus Associated with Mass Mortality of Juvenile and Adult Koi, a Strain of Common Carp

TL;DR: It is strongly suspect that this newly recognized koi herpesvirus (KHV) has the potential to be a significant cause of mortality among koi and presumably common carp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentrations of a Koi herpesvirus (KHV) in tissues of experimentally infected Cyprinus carpio koi as assessed by real-time TaqMan PCR.

TL;DR: Although there were no recognized patterns to viral DNA concentrations as found in different tissues over time, KHV genome copies for all tissues increased with time post virus exposure and with water temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular comparison of isolates of an emerging fish pathogen, koi herpesvirus, and the effect of water temperature on mortality of experimentally infected koi.

TL;DR: A comparison of virion polypeptides and genomic restriction fragments of seven geographically diverse isolates of KHV indicated that with one exception they represented a homogeneous group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial characteristics of koi herpesvirus and development of a polymerase chain reaction assay to detect the virus in koi, Cyprinus carpio koi

TL;DR: Initial characteristics of the virus show that it is clearly different from Herpesvirus cyprini (CHV), the most commonly known herpesvirus from cyprinid fish, and the genomic DNA restriction fragments clearly distinguish KHV from CHV and CCV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of the koi herpesvirus (KHV) gene encoding thymidine kinase and its use for a highly sensitive PCR based diagnosis

TL;DR: The TK based PCR assay developed in this work was shown to be specific for the detection of KHV and was as sensitive as virus isolation which is the golden standard method for KHV diagnosis and was able to detect as little as 10 fentograms of KHVs DNA corresponding to 30 virions.
