Carp interstitial nephritis and gill necrosis virus (CNGV) is an unclassified large DNA virus that morphologically resembles members of the Herpesviridae but contains a large (ca. approximately 280-kbp) linear double-stranded DNA. This virus has also been named koi herpesvirus, koi herpes-like virus, and cyprinid herpesvirus 3. CNGV is the cause of a lethal disease that afflicts common carp and...

BACKGROUND Articular manifestations are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) whereas erosive disease is not. Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) are citrulline-dependent in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), whereas the opposite is suggested in SLE, as reactivity with cyclic arginine peptide (CAP) is typically present. Antibodies targeting carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) may...

The caryophyllidean tapeworm Atractolytocestus huronensis, which was first detected in Hungary in the intestine of pondfarmed common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in 2001, has rapidly spread throughout the country and is now present in the common carp stock of several fish farms. This parasite has also been detected in market-size common carp imported from the Czech Republic. The cestode can infect yo...

IGFs are potent mitogens for many different cell types and play important roles in growth and development. A multitude of regulatory factors modulate the expression of IGFs. In some teleosts, liver IGF-I expression has been demonstrated to depend on the presence of GH. However, the GH dependence of IGF-II expression in teleosts is controversial. Moreover, most IGF expression studies in bony fis...

In December 2022, 10 females and 2 males of common carp (Common carp) from ponds (water temperature 10°C) were placed in RAS pools (control group) an open pond Uzbeki-stan. January, the water was increased by 1°C two days for weeks. Since January 20, 22-24°C The fish had weigh 2950 – 3980 (average 3235) g. From February 3th, 4 injected with pituitary gland according to routine methods ripe eggs...

Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) infection in common carp Cyprinus carpio L. and its ornamental koi varieties can induce the severe systemic disease known as koi herpesvirus disease. This disease is characterised by a rapid replication and spreading of the virus through multiple organs and results in a fast onset of mortality (starting on Day 6 post infection) in up to 100% of infected fish. Dur...

BACKGROUND Diets used in commercial fish farming use significant proportions of crop-derived commodities, and it is important to understand the potential for transfer of any pesticide residues on the crop into edible tissues in fish. It is a current requirement in the EU that fish metabolism studies must be performed when a pesticide is used in crops where commodities or processed fractions are...
