Avian influenza virus (AIV) possessed significant risk to various animals and human health. Wild birds, especially waterfowls are considered to be the natural reservoir of AIVs. The ecology of AIV is still far from being fully understood. Chinese mitten crabs are nonnegligible biotic factor in AIV ecosystem. We analyzed the ability of Chinese mitten crabs accumulate and spread AIV. We found that AIV remain infectious in water only for 36 hours but persist in crabs for 48 hours. Crabs grills and gastrointestinal tracts accumulated AIV with higher titers than viral water. Crabs could accumulate AIV from contaminated water, carry the virus and spread to naïve crabs via surrounding water. Our study identified Chinese mitten crab as a novel transmission vehicle in AIV ecosystem. |
