The data presented here corresponds to the research paper "Simultaneous detection of invasive signal crayfish, endangered white-clawed crayfish and the crayfish plague using environmental DNA". A crayfish-specific assay was designed and optimised using three real-time PCR supermixes (SYBR™ Green, SsoFast™ EvaGreen® and HOT FIREPol® EvaGreen®). Diagnostic high resolution melt (HRM) data from direct application of assay on both eDNA water samples and field samples from four catchments (two in Wales, two in England) is presented in this article, displaying positive HRM profiles for invasive signal crayfish ( native white-clawed crayfish () and crayfish plague causal agent ().

Introduction: Crayfish plague is considered the most important crayfish disease globally. It is caused by the fungus-like agent, . This study aimed to identify and determine the prevalence of using PCR in narrow-clawed crayfish () populations from across Türkiye.

We adopted a morphometric approach to provide statistical support for the description of two different morphotypes (I, reproductive, II, non-reproductive) firstly observed in specimens caught in a population from Sardinia Island (western Mediterranean). The morphometric study was preceded by molecular taxonomic identification using the mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The presence or absence of the pathogen , responsible for the plague, was also investigated using the ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) marker.

Article Synopsis
- Alien invasive species, particularly the pathogen Aphanomyces astaci, are a major cause of biodiversity loss in European freshwater ecosystems, severely impacting noble crayfish populations.
- This study investigates how the noble crayfish's immune response changes over time when exposed to A. astaci, revealing a lack of effective defense mechanisms against this highly virulent strain.
- The findings indicate a correlation between the progression of the disease and pathogen load, suggesting that the immune system of noble crayfish is unable to control the infection, contributing to their decline.

Article Synopsis
- * A discrete stage model was used to examine how the disease invades naive host populations, considering factors like age class variations and environmental transmission sources.
- * The research suggests that even fatal infections can allow for the coexistence of hosts and parasites due to the survival of juvenile crayfish and differences in resistance within the population, making the model useful for managing emerging diseases in similar organisms.
