Abstract

The immune system of freshwater crabs is an intricate network essential for their survival in pathogen-rich environments. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying immune responses in the hemolymph of freshwater crabs. Key components such as hemocytes, antimicrobial peptides, and the prophenoloxidase system are discussed alongside recent advancements in molecular techniques that have facilitated these discoveries. We review some basic aspects of crab effector defense processes, like agglutination, encapsulation, phagocytosis, clottable proteins, and bactericidal activity, induced by these carbohydrate-driven recognition patterns. Understanding these immune defense mechanisms provides insights into invertebrate immunity and has practical implications for aquaculture.
