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 ...

Confirmation of crayfish plague in Italy: detection of Aphanomyces astaci in white clawed crayfish [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010
In the summer of 2009, high levels of mortality among white clawed crayfish Austropotamobius pallipes were observed in 3 watercourses of central Italy. PCR and culture methods were used to detect the causative agent of the disease. Two strains of Aphanomyces spp.

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.

Investigation of the first recent crayfish plague outbreak in Ireland and its subsequent spread in the Bruskey River and surrounding areas

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2022
White-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) is a keystone species found in western European freshwater bodies, where it has suffered drastic declines due to pathogens, competition with non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) and habitat ...

Variation in Resistance to the Invasive Crayfish Plague and Immune Defence in the Native Noble Crayfish [PDF]

Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2014
Emerging diseases, such as the crayfish plague, are a worldwide problem with serious ecological and economic impacts. Under the framework of ecological immunology, we investigated whether variation in crayfish plague resistance, the indicators of immune defence (encapsulation response, phenoloxidase and lytic activity), and the exploration behaviour ...

Controlled Infection Experiment With Aphanomyces astaci Provides Additional Evidence for Latent Infections and Resistance in Freshwater Crayfish

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
For 150 years the crayfish plague disease agent Aphanomyces astaci has been the cause of mass mortalities among native European crayfish populations. However, recently several studies have highlighted the great variability of A.

Simultaneous detection of native and invasive crayfish and Aphanomyces astaci from environmental DNA samples in a wide range of habitats in Central Europe [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2020
Crayfish of North American origin are amongst the most prominent high-impact invasive invertebrates in European freshwaters. They contribute to the decline of European native crayfish species by spreading the pathogen causing crayfish plague, the ...
