Mitochondrial genomes and comparative genomics of Aphanomyces astaci and Aphanomyces invadans

Immunofluorescence of the epizootic ulcerative syndrome pathogen, Aphanomyces invadans, using a monoclonal antibody.

A monoclonal antibody (MAb), designated 3gJC9, was raised against a protein antigen of Aphanomyces invadans, the oomycete pathogen that causes epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS). The antigen was expressed on the surface of hyphae and secreted extracellularly. MAb 3gJC9 did not cross-react with other oomycete or fungal pathogens of fish, although it did react to the crayfish plague pathogen A. ...

Investigation of ornamental crayfish reveals new carrier species of the crayfish plague pathogen (Aphanomyces astaci)

Several North American crayfish species have so far been identified as carriers of the crayfish plague agent Aphanomyces astaci. The pathogen is responsible for the declines of thousands of European crayfish populations. Currently, one of the introduction pathways of North American crayfish species is the aquarium trade which may sometimes be followed by intentional release or unintentional esc...

Short communication:In vitro screening of Sonneratia alba extract against the oomycete fish pathogen, Aphanomyces invadans

Effect of Mikania Cordata on Non-specific Immune Response and Survival of Labeo Rohita against Aphanomyces Invadans

The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Mikania cordata leaf powder on non-specific immune response and disease resistance of Labeo rohita fingerlings against the Aphanomyces invadans infection. M. cordata extract was incorporated in the diets (at 0.0%, 1%, 2% and 3%) of L. rohita fingerlings (19±0.95g). Blood and serum sampling was carried out on 0th day, 14th day, 28th day and 42t...

Prevalence of the Crayfish Plague Pathogen Aphanomyces astaci in Populations of the Signal Crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus in France: Evaluating the Threat to Native Crayfish

Aphanomyces astaci, the crayfish plague pathogen, first appeared in Europe in the mid-19(th) century and is still responsible for mass mortalities of native European crayfish. The spread of this parasite across the continent is especially facilitated by invasive North American crayfish species that serve as its reservoir. In France, multiple cases of native crayfish mortalities have been sugges...
