The first identification of spring viraemia of carp (SVC) in the US has been made in a koi hatchery in Kernersville, North Carolina. SVC is a disease of several species of cyprinid fishes caused by Rhabdovirus carpio. In response to the US SVC finding, all fish in the affected ponds have been slaughtered and the affected ponds have been drained. A surveillance program has been instituted and the hatchery has been placed under quarantine. The North Carolina Wildlife Commission has been contacted to test rivers and tributaries that receive effluent water from the hatchery. Several of the susceptible species have been reported in the wild in waters of west-central North Carolina .
