RECOMBINANT KOI HERPES VIRUS (KHV) OR CIPRINID HERPESVIRUS 3 (CYHV-3) AND A VACCINE FOR THE PREVENTION OF A DISEASE CAUSED BY THE KHV/CYHV-3 IN CYPRINUS CARPIO CARPIO AND CYPRINUS CARPIO KOI

摘要

Invention herewith described refers to the recombinant koi herpes virus (KHV) or Cyprinid herpes virus 3 (CyHV-3), which is immunogenic in fish, preferably in carps, more preferably in Cyprinus carpio, and to a vaccine for preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of a disease caused by koi herpes virus (SEC) or CyHV-3. The recombinant herpes virus is used to confer immunity on fish, preferably on carps, more preferably on Cyprinus carpio, against a disease caused by koi herpes virus (KHV) or Cyprinid herpes virus 3 (CyHV-3).
