Aphanomyces astaci mtDNA: insights into the pathogen's differentiation and its genetic diversity from other closely related oomycetes

, 2021
The causative agent of crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci (Saprolegniales, Oomycota), is one of the 100 world's worst invasive alien species and represents a major threat to freshwater crayfish species worldwide.

Prevalence of the novel amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in Europe and its relationship to host richness and density

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Policy implications. These results suggest that conserving salamander species could reduce Bsal transmission and Bsal‐induced salamander population declines. Given that Bsal is a generalist pathogen that will be challenging to eliminate, conserving amphibian diversity should help to reduce Bsal prevalence and loads and thus protect highly susceptible ...

Aphanomyces astaci PsI-genotype isolates from different Finnish signal crayfish stocks show variation in their virulence but still kill fast

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2013
We detected significant virulence differences among five tested (PsI-Puujärvi, PsI-Pyhäjärvi, PsI-Kukkia, PsI-Saimaa I and PsI-Saimaa II) PsI-genotype crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci) isolates against lake Mikitänjärvi noble ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Physiological adaptation of an Aphanomyces astaci strain isolated from the freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii

, 1995
Physiological, epidemiological and genetical properties of an Aphanomyces astaci strain (Pc) isolated from the warm water crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, were compared to other A. astaci strains isolated from the cold water crayfish Astacus astacus,

Multiple global‐change drivers and cascading effects in Mediterranean ecosystems: Lessons from an iconic national park

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mediterranean ecosystems face complex, multi‐trophic impacts from global‐change drivers, yet responses are often studied in isolation. Using the Doñana Protected Area as a case study, we illustrate how anthropogenic pressures on key species like cork oaks and rabbits, as well as increases in species like wild boar and invasive crayfish, lead to ...

Freshwater Mussel Anodonta cygnea Reduces Concentration, Germination Rate and Infectivity of Pathogenic Oomycete Saprolegnia spp. Spores

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Saprolegniosis, also known as water mould, is a lethal disease caused by Saprolegnia oomycetes that threatens freshwater animals including fish, amphibians, and crustaceans, as well as aquaculture. It causes biodiversity loss and population declines, including those of endangered fishes.
