Abstract
A recent PCR-test developed for identification of Aphanomyces astaci , the organism responsible for crayfish plague, provided false positives for Aphanomyces frigidophilus , Aphanomyces repetans , and some Saprolegnia spp. Real-time PCR showed that with the designed primers, A. astaci and A. frigidophilus cannot be distinguished. The results of this study show that this particular crayfish plague PCR-test ought to be improved and that molecular-based techniques need to be contrasted to histological evidences and disease history.
