This research sought to build on the experimental evidence regarding non-target species susceptibility to CyHV-3. Three species which had been previously tested, but for which additional evidence would be needed to confirm non-susceptibility included Rainbow Trout, Silver Perch and Murray Cod. 

Epidemiological modelling has been undertaken to evaluate the impact of CyHV-3 as part of an assessment of the feasibility of this virus as a potential biocontrol for carp in Australia. The present project provides information to support key components of the mechanisms of virus transmission which...

In recent years, CyHV-3 has been explored as a possible biocontrol measure for European carp in Australia. This virus is an OIE listed disease that at this time remains exotic to Australia. The potential release of CyHV-3 into Australian waters would introduce new risks to Australia’s koi...
