Long-term changes in the prevalence of the crayfish plague pathogen and its genotyping in invasive crayfish species in Czechia [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2022 The widespread presence of North American alien crayfish in Europe is a major driver of native crayfish population declines, mainly because they are chronic carriers of the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci responsible for crayfish plague.

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.

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.

First record of the stone crayfish in the Romanian lowlands
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2021 The stone crayfish is a native European freshwater species with significant population declines caused by anthropogenic pressure onto its habitats, climate change and spreading of non-indigenous invasive crayfish and their pathogens (e.g., Aphanomyces ...
