Increased immunogenes expression in redclaw crayfish infected with crayfish plague-like disease

open access: yesMalaysian Journal of Microbiology
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]

open access: yesDiseases 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.

First Detection of the Crayfish Plague Pathogen Aphanomyces astaci in Costa Rica: European Mistakes Should Not Be Repeated

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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]

open access: yesAnnales 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 ...

Not Only Environmental Conditions but Also Human Awareness Matters: A Successful Post-Crayfish Plague Reintroduction of the White-Clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) in Northern Italy

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In Europe, invasive freshwater crayfish are not only changing freshwater ecosystems, but they are also leading to local extinctions of native freshwater crayfish.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Multiple drivers of decline in the global status of freshwater crayfish (Decapoda: Astacidea) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rates of biodiversity loss are higher in freshwater ecosystems than in most terrestrial or marine ecosystems, making freshwater conservation a priority.

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

open access: yesNeoBiota, 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 ...
