“…Studying a crab species, Ameson michaelis, Overstreet noted that single doses of Buquinolate (Overstreet, 1975) and Monesin (Overstreet, 1988) would inhibit development. Overstreet and Whatley (1975) found that a 5-min bath in a dilute solution of either sodium hydrochlorite or an iodinecontaining disinfectant was an effective control measure.…”

Disease agents and pests associated with freshwater crayfish fall into six main categories-viruses, bacteria, rickettsia-like organisms (RLOs), fungi, protists, and metazoans. Data and information on specific disease agents and pests from each of these categories are presented in this synopsis. Each agent or group of agents is considered under the following headings-condition, causative agent(s), life cycle/life history, epizootiology, pathology, pathogen viability. Information for the synopsis was obtained from the published literature and from personal contact with internationally recognized experts in freshwater crayfish aquaculture, biology, and disease. Data of relevance for import risk analysis are summarized.Import risk analysis is the process by which the risks associated with importation of animals and plants, and products derived from animals and plants, are assessed and managed. Hazard identification is essential and is the first component of an import risk analysis. In 1996, the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) commenced a review of policy relating to the importation of nonviable freshwater crayfish products, along with a suite of other aquatic animal products. AQIS2 commissioned a synopsis of freshwater crayfish pests and pathogens for use as a resource document for hazard identification in the formal IRA process.

“…The drug buquinolate is partially successful in preventing spore development (Overstreet, 1975). Spores are 2.2 by 1.7 μπι and are covered by short "hairs" which distinguish this species from Ameson nelsoni in shrimps.…”

“…Several drugs, notably fumagillin (Katznelson and Jamieson, 1952), benomyl (Hsiao and Hsiao, 1973), buquinolate (Overstreet, 1975), toltrazuril (Mehlhorn et al, 1988), and itraconazole (Liu and Myrick, 1989) are reported to have antimicrosporidial activity. Entirely satisfactory treatments for microsporidioses have not yet been found.…”

“…Ameson penaei became infective for pink shrimp following passage through the gut of a shrimp predator, the spotted sea trout (Cynoscion nebulosus) (Lightner, 1988)). A single treatment of buquinolate (used to treat coccidiosis in boiler chickens) prevented microsporidosis caused by A. michaelis in most exposed blue crab (Overstreet, 1975). Lightner (1988) suggested that Fumidil B (an antibiotic used to control microsporidosis in honeybees) and benomyl (a systemic fungicide used to…”
