Transmission Routes and a New Freshwater Crustacean Host for Infectious Precocity Virus (IPV).

ABSTRACT: Macrobrachium rosenbergii holds significant importance in aquaculture within tropical and subtropical regions globally. An infection called infectious precocity virus disease (IPVD), caused by infectious precocity virus (IPV), has emerged in M. rosenbergii in China and causes significant economic losses. The diseased M. rosenbergii presents with the characteristics of sexual precocity and slow growth. Elaborating the route of transmission and host range of IPV is necessary to prevent the disease. Transmission of IPV to healthy M. rosenbergii can occur through the ingestion of IPV-infected tissue, immersion of viral filtrate, cohabitation with infected M. rosenbergii, or water-borne transmission in contaminated environment.
