The influence of environmental temperature and infection route on the immune response of carp (Cyprinus carpio) to spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV).
Carp infected by water route and by injection of SVCV developed neutralizing antibodies within 2-8 weeks at water temperatures between 10-20 degrees C. At 10 degrees C SVCV persisted 12 weeks in the blood of carp although antibodies were present. Immunized carp showed a solid protective immunity to SVCV.
