  1. aFive groups crabs (3 per group) were distributed into 5 viral water tanks. After 0, 1, 3, 8 and 12 h incubation, 1 group of 3 crabs were rinsed and euthanized. Crabs gills, gastrointestinal tract, hepatopancreas, muscle tissue and viral water were collected for viral titration in MDCK cells
  2. –, no virus was detected in samples
