Temporal variation in the prevalence of the crayfish plague pathogen, Aphanomyces astaci, in three Czech spiny-cheek crayfish populations

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2011
North American crayfish species are natural hosts of the crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci. The spiny-cheek crayfish Orconectes limosus, widespread in Central Europe, is the main reservoir of A.

Quantitative Metabarcoding Reveals the Effects of Ecological Factors and Invasive Species on Functional Diversity of Freshwater Insects

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic insects are the most biodiverse freshwater animals. DNA metabarcoding data are increasingly used to assess variation in insect communities, but they are rarely integrated with information on the abundance or biomass of different taxa that can provide key insights into their functional responses.

Toward Spiny Lobster (Panulirus spp.) Aquaculture Development in Bangladesh: Lessons and Insights From Global Research

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Spiny lobsters (Panulirus spp.) hold great ecological and economic importance in many tropical and subtropical regions, supporting coastal livelihoods and high‐value seafood markets worldwide. Countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Australia have advanced aquaculture and hatchery research for these species, showing that commercial culture is ...

Protocols for studying the crayfish plague pathogen, Aphanomyces astaci, and its host-pathogen interactions

open access: yesJournal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2023
The crayfish plague caused by the pathogen Aphanomyces astaci has decimated the European and Asian populations of freshwater crayfish and represents an important threat to the other highly susceptible crayfish species in the world, such as the Australian, Madagascar, and South American species.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Design and Validation of a Single‐Species Environmental DNA qPCR Assay for the Detection of the Invasive Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is considered amongst the most damaging invasive species globally; however, the UK distribution of the species is not well known, with current management protocols reliant on reports of individual sightings. In this study, the first probe‐based, species‐specific qPCR assay was developed for the detection of ...

Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae by eDNA: Influencing Environmental Parameters

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We investigated influencing environmental factors on a previously developed eDNA‐based detection protocol for T. bryosalmonae. Specifically, water and air temperature, precipitation as well as bryozon presence and infection status were evaluated. Recommendations for a future eDNA‐based monitoring of T. bryosalmonae are provided.

Crayfish disease diagnostics : towards a Nordic standard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Rapu on ollut jo kauan osa pohjoismaista kulttuuriperinnettä. Yli sata vuotta sitten Manner-Euroopasta levinnyt tuhoisa raputauti, rapurutto, hävitti kuitenkin suuren osan tuottavista jokirapukannoista. Monet rapuruton esiintymiseen ja diagnostiikkaan
