The Crayfish Plague Pathogen Aphanomyces astaci in Ireland [PDF]
MicroorganismsCrayfish plague is a devastating disease of European freshwater crayfish and is caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci (Ap. astaci), believed to have been introduced to Europe around 1860. All European species of freshwater crayfish are susceptible to

Crayfish plague affects juvenile survival and adult behaviour of invasive signal crayfish. [PDF]
Parasitology, 2020 AbstractThe spread of invasive, non-native species is a key threat to biodiversity. Parasites can play a significant role by influencing their invasive host's survival or behaviour, which can subsequently alter invasion dynamics. The North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is a known carrier ofAphanomyces astaci, an oomycete pathogen ...

Crayfish plague in Japan: A real threat to the endemic Cambaroides japonicus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Global introductions of aquatic species and their associated pathogens are threatening worldwide biodiversity. The introduction of two North American crayfish species, Procambarus clarkii and Pacifastacus leniusculus, into Japan in 1927 seems to have ...

Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases as Chitin-Specific Virulence Factors in Crayfish Plague. [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 The oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces astaci, also known as “crayfish plague”, is an obligate fungal-like parasite of freshwater crustaceans and is considered responsible for the ongoing decline of native European crayfish populations. A. astaci is thought to secrete a wide array of effectors and enzymes that facilitate infection, however their molecular ...

REINTRODUCTION OF NOBLE CRAYFISH ASTACUS ASTACUS AFTER CRAYFISH PLAGUE IN NORWAY [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2004 The Glomma and Halden watercourses in Norway were hit by crayfish plague in 1987 and 1989. Reintroduction of the noble crayfish started in 1989 in the Glomma and in 1995 in the Halden watercourse.

Prevalence, molecular identification and genotyping of the crayfish plague pathogen, Aphanomyces astaci in major narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823) populations from Türkiye [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary ResearchCrayfish plague is considered the most important crayfish disease globally. It is caused by the fungus-like agent, Aphanomyces astaci. This study aimed to identify and determine the prevalence of A. astaci using PCR in narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus

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.
