To assess the risk that rapid resistance to CyHV-3 might develop, we undertook an extension to the integrated modelling with the objectives of defining what exactly is “resistance” in the context of viral biocontrol, and to elucidate the mechanisms (pathways) by which it might develop....
This research sought to build on the experimental evidence regarding non-target species susceptibility to CyHV-3. Three species which had been previously tested, but for which additional evidence would be needed to confirm non-susceptibility included Rainbow Trout, Silver Perch and Murray Cod.
The present study, undertaken by the Australian National University, was developed to investigate the potential direct risks to human health of cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), as a part of investigations into species specificity of the virus under the National Carp Control Plan (NCCP). The NCCP,...
The present study, undertaken by University of Canberra, was developed to investigate the potential to engender support for the recommendations included in the NCCP byassessing potential impacts of carp control on different groups, and ensuring key stakeholders are able to access, understand and...
This project, undertaken by Agtrans Research in association with Environmental and Resource Economics (ERE) and Gillespie Economics, investigated the current and future impact costs of European Carp in Australian waterways, particularly the Murray Darling Basin (MDB), and the costs and benefits of...
The present study, undertaken by Charles Sturt University, was developed to investigate the potential for commercial, or subsidised, fishery exploitation to effectively control carp populations in Australia. Using published literature examples of fish (and other) vertebrate pest-removal...
This project, undertaken by CSIRO, aimed to determine the most important form of transmission of CyHV-3 to Cyprinus carpio (common carp). This was addressed through experiments to determine:
(1) The relative amounts of virus in the skin and mucus of infected fish vs shed...
