In the present work, different developmental stages of Artemia sp. (metanauplius, juvenile and adult) were experimentally infected with LCDV by immersion. Results of viral quantification (both by qPCR and cell-culture viral titer determination) and expression showed that LCDV establishes a productive infection in Artemia, at least under experimental conditions, extending the host range of this virus to crustaceans.
