Cray Benchmark – calibrating different eDNA methods for crayfish and crayfish plague [PDF]
ARPHA Conference Abstracts, 2021 Many countries are on the verge to integrate eDNA analyses into environmental monitoring. There are no standards yet for this kind of monitoring, and many different methods are used. Still, various methods and protocols have previously proven to be very precise and credible.

Simultaneous detection of invasive signal crayfish, endangered white-clawed crayfish and the crayfish plague pathogen using environmental DNA [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2018 ABSTRACTAquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are important vectors for the introduction of novel pathogens which can, in turn, become drivers of rapid ecological and evolutionary change, compromising the persistence of native species. Conservation strategies rely on accurate information regarding presence and distribution of AIS and their associated ...

Practical disinfection chemicals for fishing and crayfishing gear against crayfish plague transfer [PDF]
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014 We tested four commercial disinfectants against crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci) spores in both aquatic solutions and with material mimicking fishing and crayfishing gear, e.g. traps, ropes, mesh, etc. The tested disinfectants were Proxitane®5:14, Proxitane®12:20, Wofasteril®E400, Virkon®S and hydrogen peroxide.

Potent infection reservoir of crayfish plague now permanently established in Norway [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011 Noble crayfish Astacus astacus is threatened in Europe due to invasive crayfish carrying the crayfish plague agent Aphanomyces astaci. Norway is among the last countries in which the introduction of non-indigenous crayfish has been limited through strict legislation practices.
