The signal crayfish is vulnerable to both the As and the PsI-isolates of the crayfish plague [PDF]

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
The carrier status and possible elevated tolerance of the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) against the crayfish plague disease agent (Aphanomyces astaci) has been speculated for several decades.

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.

THE EFFECT OF THE LARGE-SCALE INTRODUCTION OF SIGNAL CRAYFISH ON THE SPREAD OF CRAYFISH PLAGUE IN SWEDEN [PDF]

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Since 1907, coinciding with the arrival of the crayfish plague, the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) has steadily declined in Sweden. To substitute the noble crayfish fishery lost, mainly due to the plague, and since the species is highly susceptible to ...

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.

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 ...

Recurring infection by crayfish plague pathogen only marginally affects survival and growth of marbled crayfish [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2022
Invasive alien crayfish threaten the diversity of freshwater ecosystems and native crayfish fauna. In Europe, this is largely due to transmission of the crayfish plague to susceptible native crayfish.

Real-Time PCR Assays for Rapid Identification of Common Aphanomyces astaci Genotypes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The oomycete Aphanomyces astaci is the etiologic agent of crayfish plague, a disease that has seriously impacted the populations of European native crayfish species.

Money Kills Native Ecosystems: European Crayfish as an Example

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021

Resistance to the crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci (Oomycota) in the endangered freshwater crayfish species, Austropotamobius pallipes. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
The pathogen Aphanomyces astaci Schikora 1906 is responsible for the decline of the native crayfish species of Europe, and their current endangered status. This pathogenic species is native to North America and only colonizes aquatic decapods. The North American crayfish species have a high resistance to this pathogen, while species from other regions ...
