Carp edema virus (CEV), the causative agent of 'koi sleepy disease' (KSD), appears to be spreading worldwide and to be responsible for losses in koi, ornamental varieties of the common carp Cyprinus carpio.

Retinal amacrine cells of the same class in cyprinid fish are homotypically connected by gap junctions. The permeability of their gap junctions examined by the diffusion of Neurobiotin into neighboring amacrine cells under application of dopamine or cyclic nucleotides to elucidate whether electrical synapses between the cells are regulated by internal messengers. Neurobiotin injected intracellu...
