'''Channel catfish and the closely related blue catfish''' are the only fish known to be susceptible to CCVD. Natural outbreaks are seen almost exclusively in cultivated channel catfish.
'''Channel catfish and the closely related blue catfish''' are the only fish known to be susceptible to CCVD. Natural outbreaks are seen almost exclusively in cultivated channel catfish. The virus has not been reported from wild channel catfish or in any other wild catfish.
Disease occurs almost exclusively in fish '''less than a year old''', and is '''most common in those under 4 months''' of age. Natural clinical disease is generally confined to fish '''weighing less than 10g.'''

==Diagnosis==
==Diagnosis==
Diagnosis of CCVD is generally based on isolation of CCV in cell cultures from infected fish followed with its immunological and/or acid-based identification such as using PCR.
Increased fry or fingerling mortality in catfish in warm weather, especially after stress, should raise suspicion of CCVD.
