What's new on the KHV front?

[dinh]

not much about the KHV virus lately that I know of.... When Ray Jordan was a chairman of AKCA KHV Research project funding... Ray did a great job for trying to bring KHV awareness to koi people. In additional to that, Ray had helped to raise quite a lot of funding for the research program... We at Koi-bito donated money and Koi-Bito alsow allows the auction site to be used for KHV research which helped to raise around 10K if my memory serves me well.... Some time just wonder what is going on with the research program and it progress as well.....

Yes, we did Tony.... Both San Franciso Koi club and ZNA Norcal helped to raise and donated $800.00 for AKCA KHV Research Funding at ABAKS......
Remember that ZNA NorCal was just one month old at that time and we all helped to make it.... I am so proud of ZNA NorCal...

Progress is being made on developing a KHV vaccine in many places. Spike Cover just wrote a update on KHV research based on the info available at this time. Isreal, England, Canada, U.S.A. and Japan have one or more research projects for several types of KHV vaccine underway. Up to date information for research projects issketchy at best but there is hope for a vaccine to be available in the U.S. in a few more years.
