Spring viraemia of carp (SVC) is often a fatal haemorrhagic disease of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, and other fishes. It is caused by the Spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV), a rhabdovirus of the type species, Carp sprivivirus, in the genus Sprivivirus. The host range; geographic range; mode of...
