I donāt mean to be rude but there are so many know it allās on here with bad info. I have to just bang my head against the wall sometimes. Yes, pox is a virus but starts from a genetic side. Hereās some info.
Carp pox, or koi pox, is an inherited gene passed down through ornamental koi and wild carp which causes outbreaks of the herpes virus Cyprinid Herpesvirus 1, or āCyHV-1ā. Although contagious between fish, the virus initially lays dormant within carriers of the herpes gene and usually erupts during periods of stress, lower immune activity (hibernation/topor), or when koi are still young and developing. The virus is omnipresent in fish born with the carrier gene, and will be with them throughout their life in varying degrees of severity.https://pondinformer.com/koi-carp-pox-treatment-guide/
