Bekko idea of making a PCR test is on my opiniun the best solution. Maybe you don't need to send them on Georgia university. Just phone them to ask what they need to do the test, maybe you can just send them what they need (PCR test can be made with blood, escrement and some time just with a hear coton stick that you pass in the mouth). If it is not too complicate you might be abble to do it yourself. Usualy they send the material you need to do the test.
The other solution would be to inject the suspected fish with dexamethasone (once a day for three day) to take the imunity down, so the virus could come out and the fish will show if he is carrying the KHV. To do that you must be sure that no other sickness are not there and that your water conditions are perfect.
If is carrying KHV he will probably die. So this way of doing is not so elegant.
Good luck and let us know what Georgia unisversity propose you.
