Dear Avor 

We have he'll lot of diseases in Ghana and the mortality is everywhere except some farms who went on for vaccination for Strep. Even after vaccination they still face mortality but not much like others. 

We have columnaris, aeromonas, Streptococcus, klebsiscella etc etc bacteria, saprolegnia, fish lice etc. 

Looking at the pictures I fear more now, aeromonas also looks little bit near to those symptoms but fin rot is dominant when aeromonas is there. 

These symptoms are matching with the latest pics released for TILV. 

Let's not conclude, I will forward this mail to a expert who came to Ghana two days back and he has PCR with him. He will confirm the disease if it is TILV. 

Please give your contact details

With Regards

Subject:  Could this be a sign of tilapia lake virus?

 

Clinical signs on moribund farmed tilapia from Volta Lake Ghana… what do they    tell one  ?  

Hi William

Every month during sampling I see this sign on at least two fishes, I record mortality of 50pieces on average daily.
There is no single day, were we don't record mortality on lake Volta around Akosombo.

Kindly find attached  photos
Could it be Tilapia Lake Virus?

Salut Guillaume
Chaque mois lors de l'échantillonnage, je vois ce signe sur au moins deux poissons, je note la mortalité de 50 pièces par jour.
Il n'y a pas un seul jour, si nous ne enregistrons pas la mortalité sur le lac Volta autour d'Akosombo.
Veuillez trouver ci-joint les  photos
Peut-il être Tilapia Lake Virus?
