VIRAL DISEASES OF FISH: FIRST REPORT OF CARP POX IN GOLDEN IDE (LEUCISCUS IDUS) IN NORTH AMERICA

Abstract
Carp pox, a putative viral disease exotic to North America, occurred in golden ide 1 yr after the fish were imported into the USA from West Germany. The raised, white, plaque-like lesions, which occurred on .apprx. 5% of the fish, healed spontaneously and caused no mortality. Electron micrographs showed herpesvirus-like particles associated with lesion specimens; no infectious viruses were detected in tests with 7 warmwater fish cell lines.
