| How Does
Water Temperature Affect KHV Disease? The virus appears to have an incubation period of 14 days following the introduction of infected fish to naive fish (fish that have not been exposed before) (OATA, 2001; Ronen et al., 2003). However, incubation may be longer, indicating that appropriate pond temperature and possibly a second trigger may be necessary for outbreaks to occur. Mortality related to KHV, almost no reported occurrence of the disease at or above 86°F (30°C) (OATA, 2001; Goodwin, 2003). |
