KOI HERPES VIRUS Confirmed in Orlando Florida Case May 2008 "Through the IPPCA s Pond Hobbyists Hotline (770) 592-9790, a pond hobbyist from central Florida called in with a fish health issue. Hobbyist bought fish from multiple dealers in first part of March. No QT or parasite treatment was done to fish prior to insertion into existing pond population. Upon initiating and following the IPPCA established self-administered. Hobbyist parasite treatment protocols for a "fish are dying as we speak" situation, the fish did not respond in 12,24 and 48 hours as they should have. Upon further investigation, we felt we were probaly dealing with a virus, as visible ulcerations were not occuring at that time, and resident goldfish were showing no symptoms. We recommended on day two of this case that multiple dead fish be shipped to UGA for testing. Results of the test were furnished to us through proper protocols at 5:40 pm yesterday, 5-28-08. Test was positive for KHV. 17th Annual Pond Tour It s that time again for the annual SCVKWGC Pond Tour. This year, we have a great lineup of ponds, including two newly finished ponds. Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for teens, and children under 12 are free. The tour is scheduled for Saturday, July 19th from 9am to 4pm.
