The spread of the African swine fever virus (ASF virus) genotype ii in the Eurasian region has been very successful and often inexplicable. The virus spreads rapidly and persists in areas with wild boar populations, but areas without feral pig populations are also affected. The virus has shown the ability to survive for a long time in the environment without a population of susceptible hosts, both pigs and Ornithodoros soft ticks. Published data indicated that ASF viruses persist significantly longer in an environment with some freshwater snails (especially Pomacea bridgesii, Tarebia granifera, Asolene spixii, Melanoides tuberculate, and Physa fontinalis), compared to freshwater without snails. Data obtained in this study suggest that gastropods theoretically can be the hosts of the ASF virus. Also, we have proven the possibility of long-term existence of an infectious virus when infected in vitro.
非洲猪瘟病毒（ASF病毒）基因II型在欧亚地区的传播非常成功且常常令人费解。该病毒传播迅速，并在有野猪种群的地区持续存在，但没有野猪种群的地区也受到影响。该病毒已显示出在没有猪和钝缘软蜱等易感宿主种群的环境中长时间存活的能力。已发表的数据表明，与没有蜗牛的淡水环境相比，ASF病毒在有一些淡水蜗牛（特别是福寿螺、福寿螺、尖膀胱螺、瘤拟黑螺和泉膀胱螺）的环境中持续存在的时间要长得多。本研究获得的数据表明，腹足纲动物理论上可以成为ASF病毒的宿主。此外，我们已经证明了在体外感染时传染性病毒长期存在的可能性。
