Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is an uncommon disease affecting koi carp (Cyprinus carpio). Cutaneous papilloma (carp pox) is a benign epidermal proliferation reported in koi and has been shown to be caused by Cyprinid Herpesvirus 1 (CyHV1).
Hypothesis/objectives: Histological, ultrastructural and molecular investigations were carried out aiming to investigate the aetiology of cSCC within archived tissue samples.
Animals: Surgical samples of masses located on the integument, fins and lips of 13 koi carp belonging to different private owners were included in this retrospective study.
Methods: CyHV1 DNA and RNA presence were investigated in five cSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples to recognize CyHV1 presence and its replication activity.
Results: All cases were histologically diagnosed as cSCC. The ultrastructural observations confirmed the squamous differentiation of neoplastic epithelial cells, which showed abundant tonofilament bundles and desmosomes. Although no virus particles were revealed ultrastructurally, the molecular investigation detected viral DNA in five epidemiologically unrelated cSCC. Viral transcript analysis revealed no evidence for viral replication in the tested cSCC, which could be consistent with latent infection.
Conclusions And Clinical Importance: These findings illustrate the frequent association of carp cSCC with CyHV1, although a direct cause-effect relationship cannot be established at this time. Therefore, surveillance programmes should take into account the suspected viral origin of cSCC to better inform prevention and control of CyHV1 in the future.

Effects of (L.) fruit extract on the profile of hematology of ranchu goldfish ().
Open Vet J
November 2024
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of calabash fruit extract (BFE) on the growth and blood health of ranchu goldfish, showing that higher concentrations of BFE improve these aspects.
- Group P6, which received the highest BFE concentration, demonstrated the best growth performance and increased levels of specific immune cells (CD4+).
- The findings suggest that BFE could serve as an effective immunostimulant in fish diets, impacting both performance and hematological profiles positively.

Department of Pathology and Poultry Disease, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Diyala, Baqubah, Iraq.
Article Synopsis
- Pollution from heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury poses significant risks to aquatic life, humans, and the ecosystem, leading to health concerns after consuming contaminated fish.
- The study focused on assessing the levels of these metals in common carp from Baqubah, Iraq, to understand their impact on human health and aquaculture practices.
- Results indicated that while arsenic and lead levels were within safe limits set by WHO, mercury levels exceeded those limits, and histopathological damage in fish organs highlighted the adverse effects of metal exposure.

Article Synopsis
- The Qingtian paddy field carp has been domesticated for over 1200 years and has adapted to shallow-water conditions in paddy fields.
- Research involved transcriptome sequencing of the carp's hepatopancreas at different temperatures, revealing 3154 differentially expressed genes linked to various metabolic pathways.
- The study highlights the role of protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and the HIF-1 signaling pathway in helping PF-carp maintain cell stability under high temperature and hypoxic conditions.
