Abstract
A case of skin alterations and mortalities associated with Yersinia ruckeri in two summer old common carp after over-wintering in a hibernation pond is described in the present work. The disease was characterised mainly by erosions around the orbital area of the fish. The bacterium was cultivated on Columbia agar and identified by MALDI-TOF, by biochemical characteristics and by sequencing 16s rDNA. Parasitological and virological examinations revealed no relevant findings. Usually the pathogen is associated with salmonids, which were not present on the farm investigated in this study.
