Simultaneous detection of invasive signal crayfish, endangered white-clawed crayfish and the crayfish plague pathogen using environmental DNA [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2018
Aquatic 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.

Seasonality affects key physiological pathways in Pontastacus leptodactylus during an Aphanomyces astaci epidemic outbreak [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Freshwater crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus is an indigenous European species of considerable ecological and commercial significance. However, it is highly susceptible to the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci, the causative agent of crayfish plague. Although

The impacts of biological invasions. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

THE CRAYFISH PLAGUE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC - REVIEW OF RECENT SUSPECT CASES AND A PILOT DETECTION STUDY

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
There are only very limited reports about the occurrence of the crayfish plague in Czechia. In recent years, mass mortalities of Astacus spp. with symptoms of possible crayfish plague were noticed in three streams in the country – two in Central Bohemia (

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 ...

Specific host factors determine resistance in a North American crayfish to the crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
The crayfish plague is caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces astaci with North American crayfish (for example Pacifastacus leniusculus and Procambarus clarkii) serving as carriers and vectors for this pathogen. This poses a constant threat to native crayfish in Europe, Asia, South America and Australia, which all are highly susceptible to this pathogen ...

A Comprehensive Review on Crustaceans' Immune System With a Focus on Freshwater Crayfish in Relation to Crayfish Plague Disease. [PDF]

Front Immunol, 2021
Freshwater crayfish immunity has received great attention due to the need for urgent conservation. This concern has increased the understanding of the cellular and humoral defense systems, although the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes ...
