Does anyone know how much the Govt. is looking into programs on research for this virus, or are they mostly turning a blind eye? Duane, our DNR is pretty bad here in Illinois, so up in Wisconsin I'm sure they are doing more.

I attended a lecture on VHS recently and was talking to Mike Pauers (Dr. of Ichthyology) about it.
He said healthy fish were not the issue, and that the fish most often seen infected had already been captured and were held in "net stake" holding pens.
As far as entering the tap water. Most treatment plants, like the one I work at, have multiple barrirers to stop viruses from passing throough. We do regular viral testing here in Milwaukee, and find the 1st barrier, ozone, eliminates most, then coagulation, flocculation and filtration pull any stragglers out, and the last defense, chloramine, takes care of the rest. For once something good for the fishkeeper from our old enemy, CL2.
My only concern, is that bird droppings falling into a pond, could bring the virus in, when fish are brought in for the winter.
Duane - good post, thanks

I haven't seen the Gymnos in a couple weekks now, had an algae bloom in the pond and can't see more than a few inches. Waiting for the hyacinths to take off and suck up any nutrients to clear it up.

Radek, I wouldn't think it would effect the tap water with everything they put into it to make it safe for humans.
Should change anyones mind about going out for local fish as feeders to any one who keeps large predacious fish, especially if there are more instances outside the great lakes.
I don't know much about the virus other than it is like ebola for fish, but the pictures are brutal!
