Notes.
Carp edema virus load was measured by qPCR as copy numbers of virus specific DNA in the gill, gut and skin of AS and koi during CEV genogroup IIa infection. Samples were collected 5-day post-exposure from n = 6 fish per day. The data on virus load is shown as mean, median and standard deviation (SD) of genome copies in 250 ng of isolated DNA. Different letters indicate significant differences at p ≤ 0.05 between carp strains.
