A comparative study of molecular diagnostic methods designed to detect the crayfish plague pathogen, Aphanomyces astaci

, 2011
Crayfish plague is the most important disease of freshwater crayfish with a significant impact on European species. We compared the analytical test sensitivity and specificity of three published PCR assays for the detection of Aphanomyces astaci, the ...

Differentiation and Pathogenicity within the Saprolegniaceae : Studies on Physiology and Gene Expression Patterns in Saprolegnia parasitica and Aphanomyces astaci

, 2001
Saprolegnia parasitica and Aphanomyces astaci are parasitic water moulds belonging to the Oomycetes. Despite their importance as parasites they are very little studied at the molecular level and the work described in this thesis was aimed at increasing ...

Detection of genomic DNA of the crayfish plague fungus Aphanomyces astaci (Oomycete) in clinical samples by PCR

, 2004
A diagnostic procedure, based on a polymerase chain reaction method (PCR) was developed to detect infection of crayfish with the Oomycete Aphanomyces astaci. A set of oligonucleotide primers was designed to specifically amplify A.

Detection of Aphanomyces astaci in spiny-cheek crayfish from selected water reservoirs of north-western Poland

, 2018
Aphanomyces astaci is a fungus-like oomycete agent responsible for an illness called crayfish plague, reaching 100% mortality in infected animals. Therefore, the aim of the work was to detect and estimate the rate of infection of spiny-cheek crayfish ...

Opening Pandora's Box: First Insights into the Genetic Diversity of Aphanomyces Astaci in Switzerland

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Aphanomyces astaci, the etiological agent of crayfish plague, varies in virulence depending on their genetic strains. Five genotype groups (A-E) are well characterized and, with exception of genotype group A, cause significant mortality in European freshwater crayfish species.

Specific host factors determine resistance in a North American crayfish to the crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci

The crayfish plague is caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci with North American crayfish (for example Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii) serving as carriers and vectors for this pathogen.

Non-destructive method for detecting Aphanomyces astaci, the causative agent of crayfish plague, on the individual level

, 2020
The pathogenic oomycete Aphanomyces astaci, transmitted mainly by invasive North American crayfish, causes the crayfish plague, a disease mostly lethal for native European crayfish. Due to its decimating effects on native crayfish populations in the last

The prevalence of Aphanomyces astaci in invasive signal crayfish from the UK and implications for native crayfish conservation [PDF]

, 2017
The crayfish plague agent, Aphanomyces astaci, has spread throughout Europe, causing a significant decline in native European crayfish. The introduction and dissemination of this pathogen is attributed to the spread of invasive North American crayfish ...
