- Combining prawn farming with mass drug treatments offers a more effective approach to fighting the disease and promotes health and sustainable development in endemic regions.
Article Synopsis
- The Australian redclaw crayfish displays a unique WZ/ZZ genetic sex determination system, where intersexual individuals can function as males despite having a female genotype (WZ males).
- Researchers developed W/Z genomic sex markers to investigate crayfish populations in Australia, successfully identifying the presence of rare WW females in nature.
- Population dynamics modeling revealed that intersexuals positively impact the growth rates of crayfish populations, supporting species survival and adaptation in their fragmented habitats, particularly through drought and flood cycles.
