Increased immunogenes expression in redclaw crayfish infected with crayfish plague-like disease
Aims: Aphanomyces astaci has been identified as the reason behind the crayfish plague, responsible for a high mortality rate not only to various crayfish species in Europe but also in several parts of South East Asia, including Malaysia.

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

The crayfish plague pathogen Aphanomyces astaci is one of the main factors responsible for the decline in European and Asian native crayfish species. This pathogen was transported to these regions through its natural carriers, North American crayfish ...

Water chemistry and endangered white-clawed crayfish: A literature review and field study of water chemistry association in Austropotamobius pallipes [PDF]
Populations of the endangered white-clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) have rapidly declined in distribution and density in recent decades as a result of invasive crayfish, disease and habitat degradation.

Muddied waters: suspended sediment impacts on gill structure and aerobic scope in an endangered native and an invasive freshwater crayfish [PDF]
Suspended sediment (SS) loadings in freshwater habitats have increased over the past century and SS is now a significant environmental stressor. Greater tolerance to environmental stressors has been proposed as a factor in the success of aquatic invasive

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

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