Signal crayfish as vectors in crayfish plague in Britain
Aquaculture, 1990Abstract An outbreak of crayfish plague (caused by the fungus Aphanomyces astaci) is described in white-clawed crayfish, Austopotamobius pallipes, in enclosed pond culture in an area of England from which no disease outbreaks have yet been reported.

Crayfish plague Aphanomyces astaci detected in redclaw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus in Taiwan
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2016Between December 2013 and January 2014, five outbreaks of an unknown disease with moderate to high cumulative mortality were observed among the freshwater redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) populations at four crayfish farms in Miaoli and Changhua counties (northern Taiwan) and at one crayfish farm in Pingtung County (southern Taiwan ...

Ecological impact of crayfish plague in Ireland
Hydrobiologia, 1992Freshwater crayfish are key members of aquatic communities due to their large size and abundance. Although most commonly regarded as herbivores and detritivores, they are also selective predators. The crayfish plague fungus Aphanomyces astaci (Schikora) led to the elimination of a stock of white-clawed crayfish, Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet ...

Crayfish plague and management strategies in Norway
Biological Conservation, 1993Abstract This paper describes the crayfish plague situation in Norway as at October 1991 and describes the spread within and between watersheds. Four watersheds are so far affected: the Glomma, the Store Le, the Halden and the Veksa/Vrangselva. The last was affected during 1971–1974 whereas in the others the disease occurred in the period 1987–1989 ...

Crayfish extinctions and crayfish plague in central Ireland
Biological Conservation, 1988Abstract The white-clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes (Lereboullet) has been losing ground in Western Europe but remains widespread in Ireland, whose stocks are well-studied and of European conservation importance. Crayfish fungal plague, fatal to white-clawed crayfish, has affected all other European countries; it was first diagnosed in an ...

The crayfish plague pathogen can infect freshwater‐inhabiting crabs
Freshwater Biology, 2014Summary The oomycete Aphanomyces astaci is generally considered a parasite specific to freshwater crayfish, and it has become known as the crayfish plague pathogen. Old experimental work that reported transmission of crayfish plague to the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis, and the ability of A.

The crayfish plague is caused by fungal-like water molds that exclusively live in the shells of freshwater crayfish. In its native North America, it is a fairly benign parasite, as the crayfish species living there have mechanisms to slow down the hyphae penetration of the shell. Crayfish species on other continents lack those protective mechanisms and

The oomycete Aphanomyces astaci causes mass mortalities of European crayfish. Different species of North American crayfish, original hosts of this parasite, seem to carry different strains of A. astaci. So far, four distinct genotype groups have been recognised using Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR).
