This study aimed to detect AngHV-1 in healthy glass eels from Pangandaran, West Java. Using primers targeting a 394 bp of the DNA polymerase gene, 50% of 50 eel samples tested positive, while no virus was detected in the water sample. Despite the limited sample size and use of conventional PCR, these findings provide baseline data on AngHV-1 occurrence and underscore the need for continued surveillance to enhance disease prevention in eel aquaculture.
