Since 1893, crayfish plague, Aphanomyces astaci Schikora, has devastated Finland’s most productive populations of the native noble crayfish, Astacus astacus, causing great losses to once very valuable fisheries and exports.

Potent infection reservoir of crayfish plague now permanently established in Norway [PDF]
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.

Aphanomyces astaci sporulation is crucial for the spreading potential of this disease agent. For the first time, we are reporting timing and quantity of A. astaci spores released from noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) suffering from crayfish plague under practical aquatic conditions. We infected nine noble crayfish with A.

UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING BIODIVERSITY IN RELATION TO NATIVE CRAYFISH POPULATIONS IN EUROPE
The loss or diminution of European crayfish populations because of both habitat deterioration and competition with alien crayfish – also responsible for the dissemination of the crayfish plague – would reduce the biodiversity at the species level.

Symbiotic bacteria from crayfish cuticle: a possibility for biocontrol of crayfish plague disease? [PDF]
Microorganism Aphanomyces astaci (Schikora, 1906) causes the lethal disease crayfish plague, one of the reasons for decline of native decapod crayfish populationsin Europe. While A. astaci zoospores penetrate through the crayfish cuticle during the infection process, they encounter epibiontic bacterial communities on the cuticle surface.
