Koi herpesvirus(KHV)disease causes mass mortalities in the world, however there is no ways to treat this disease. We tried passive immunization by intramuscular injections with anti KHV-IgY (Immunoglobulin Yolk=Egg yolk antibody)in order to protect koi from KHV infection. Injected IgY containing anti KHV-IgY was absorbed into the blood serum at high concentration in day 1 after three injections, which was maintained to day 14. The immunized fish were challenged by immersion with cultured KHV in day 1 and were protected from KHV infection at 95% RPS. The results indicate that passive immunization using anti KHV-Ig Y is effective to protect koi from KHV.
