Eric,
EUS is unlikely to be a major problem for commercial aquaculture in
Zambia because it doesn't affect tilapia and chinese carp are also
not badly affected.
The main species likely to be impacted in Zambia would be indigenous
cyprinids.
It seems to be most prevalent in winter - colder winters in the
region may be why it seems to have become more common in southern
Africa.
It's a complicated disease with still no clearly identified pathogen
although a fungus is suspected as the most important factor.

Bonjour,
1. Nous recherchons un expert qualifié pour la mise en place
d'un plan environnemental destiné à l'industrie
huitrière en namibie.
Ce sujet peut-il être transmis via Sarnissa ?
We are searching for a suitably qualified specialist to set up a
bivalve sanitation monitoring programme primarily for the oyster
farming industry around Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. They also do a
bit of mussel farming but mostly it is edible oysters.
2. Une autre question : je voudrais savoir si parmi les membres
Sarnissa si certains experts peuvent me donner une opnion sur
l'importance des epizooties ulcératives sur les poissons et
l'impact que cela a réellement sur la production et la
commercialisation en Zambie.
Merci si vous pouvez m'aider.
Bien à vous,
Erik Rotsaert
