Crayfish diseases in natural and farming systems
Crayfish pathogens are important contributors to the global decline of natural crayfish populations and cause significant economic losses in astaciculture. Nevertheless, current knowledge on crayfish pathogen diversity and impact is insufficient and existing studies are highly biased towards a few well-known pathogens and a limited number of hosts, mainly those of relevance to aquaculture. This special issue aims to collect state-of-the-art studies on various aspects of crayfish disease, with focus on the following topics:
- Defining novel pathogen/host crayfish species pairs with emphasis on the standardisation of infectivity trials
- The histology of health and disease in crayfish
- The microbiome of health and disease in crayfish
- Future monitoring of crayfish pathogens
- Global drivers of change in crayfish health and disease
- Ecology of host-pathogen interaction in crayfish
- Sustainable control of crayfish diseases
