Koi Pox

Post by kingfisher »

Has there been any progress/research in the eradication of Koi Pox recently.?
I have a Beni Kumonryu that has suffered considerably for the past three years.
I feel sure that it is debillitating, to say nothing of the spoilt appearance.

hi there
there will be no cure as i can see for carp pox as its a virus and there is no known cure for virus in any walk of life
you cant kill it because its not a living entity

it will go as the koi's immune system strengthens
