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

摘要

The present invention refers to a recombinant koi herpesvirus (KHV) or Cyprinid herpesvirus 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 herpesvirus (KHV) or CyHV-3. The 5 recombinant herpesvirus is used to confer immunity on fish, preferably on carps, more preferably on Cyprinus carpio, against a disease caused by koi herpesvirus (KHV) or Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3).
