NCCP: essential studies on cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) prior to release of the virus in Australian waters
Much work has already been completed on the use of cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) as a potential biocontrol agent for carp in Australia. However, it is essential to understand the most important form of transmission of CyHV-3 between carp before its release.
This project will address this question by determining the:
- relative amounts of virus in the skin and mucus of infected fish vs shed virus in the water; and
- relative importance of direct versus indirect transmission of CyHV-3 between fish.
