Summary. The article presents the results of experimental work to identify the therapeutic effect of acyclovir against herpesvirus disease (SbSHV) in Siberian sturgeon juveniles during experimental infection. After the appearance of characteristic clinical signs of the disease, the fish were fed acyclovir with feed at a dose of 50 mg / kg of fish weight per day for 10 days. At the same time, the drug reduces the manifestation of clinical signs, increased the survival rate of fish as a result of herpesvirus infection compared with the positive control group. Data on clinical and pathoanatomic signs of the disease, duration and nature of the course of herpesvirus infection in Siberian sturgeon juveniles are presented.
