Mass mortality occurred in 2-year-old koi (fancy carp) Cyprinus carpio in Taiwan in 2002. Affected fish did not show any external signs except swollen gills. The consistent histological changes were observed in the gills;hyperplasia of epithelial cells, infiltration of eosinophilic granular cells and fusion of the secondary lamellae. Negatively stained nucleocapsids were icosahedral and 112p1nm in diameter. Koi herpesvirus (KHV) was detected in the diseased fish by PCR using specific primers for KHV, and sequence of the amplicon showed a 99% identity with the published data. This is the first report of KHV infection in Taiwan.
