  "text": "This order amends the list of diseases to which the provisions of the Diseases of Fish Act 1937, as amended, apply by substituting a new definition of “infected” in section 10(1) of that Act. Furunculosis, columnaris, ulcerative dermal necrosis (UDN) and infectious dropsy of cyprinids (IDC or IAD) in any of its forms including spring viraemia and erythrodermatitis are removed from the list and furunculosis of salmon and spring viraemia of carp (SVC) are added to the list.\nThe order revokes the Diseases of Fish Order 1973 (subject to a saving for the definition of “infected waters”) and the Diseases of Fish Order 1978.",
