title: The influence of environmental temperature and infection route on the immune response of carp (Cyprinus carpio) to spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV).
abstract: 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.
