A CASE of Koi Herpes Virus (KHV) has been reported from Wigan at Kingsdown Flash.
There is no known cure for this virulent disease which has killed so many carp throughout the country but Warrington's anglers can help to prevent its spread by avoiding diseased fisheries and also thoroughly air drying all nets, unhooking mats and weigh bags after use.
Fully drying such equipment, preferably in sunlight, ensures that all viruses and bacteria are killed.
