Exploring the eDNA dynamics of the host-pathogen pair Pacifastacus leniusculus (Decapoda) and Aphanomyces astaci (Saprolegniales) under experimental conditions [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 The oomycete Aphanomyces astaci causes crayfish plague, a disease threatening native European crayfish. It is carried and transmitted by American crayfish species, which are the original hosts of A. astaci.

Resistance to Crayfish Plague: Assessing the Response of Native Iberian Populations of the White-Clawed Freshwater Crayfish [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Crayfish plague, caused by the oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces astaci, is one of the most devastating of the emerging infectious diseases. This disease is responsible for the decline of native European and Asian freshwater crayfish populations.

A Comprehensive Review on Crustaceans’ Immune System With a Focus on Freshwater Crayfish in Relation to Crayfish Plague Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Freshwater crayfish immunity has received great attention due to the need for urgent conservation. This concern has increased the understanding of the cellular and humoral defense systems, although the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes ...

LACK OF SPECIFICITY OF THE MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF APHANOMYCES ASTACI [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2007 A recent PCR-test developed for identification of Aphanomyces astaci, the organism responsible for crayfish plague, provided false positives for Aphanomyces frigidophilus, Aphanomyces repetans, and some Saprolegnia spp. Real-time PCR showed that with the

Recovering Turkish narrow clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) populations carry Aphanomyces astaci [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2012 Crayfish stocks collapsed in Turkey in mid 1980’s due to crayfish plague epidemics, with up to 25% survival in some cases. The collapsed stocks have then recovered slowly and commercial crayfish fishery was reinitiated gradually ...

Molecular detection of Aphanomyces astaci - an improved species specific qPCR assay.
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2023 The parasitic oomycete Aphanomyces astaci is the causative agent of crayfish plague, a devastating disease for European freshwater crayfish. Species specific quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) can offer rapid detection of the pathogen. However, the well established A.
