Ictavirus ictaluridallo1 (IcHV-1) is a species of virus in the genus Ictalurivirus, family Alloherpesviridae, and order Herpesvirales.[1] It causes disease in channel catfish and blue catfish,[2] and can cause significant economic loss in catfish farms. The disease is endemic in the USA and there are reports of the virus in Honduras and Russia.
Also known as channel catfish virus (CCV), it is known to cause channel catfish virus disease (CCVD), resulting in high mortality rates and reduction of growth in catfish.[3] Occurrences of CCVD are often met with crowding and environmental stress.[3] Factors in favor of the proliferation of CCVD include temperature, crowding, and age. Instances when this virus is reported are usually during warm summer months and in highly crowded catfish ponds–places where the virus can easily be transmitted amongst catfish–and in catfish that are less than a year old.[4]
