Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) Epidemic in Asia: A Growing Concern

Asia, a continent renowned for its vibrant aquaculture industry, faces a significant threat from the Koi Herpesvirus (KHV). This highly contagious virus, affecting common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio), has caused devastating outbreaks throughout the region.

KHV poses a serious economic concern for fish farmers and a threat to the biodiversity of wild carp populations. This article explores the emergence of KHV in Asia, highlighting its impact and providing valuable insights from scientific research.
