It is, however, susceptible to the crayfish plague carried by the invasive American species signal crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus ), and is therefore listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.

recognizing that invasive species are having an increasing impact on forests in some regions and the need to have cooperative regional and international responses to this problem,

Although it is still valued for its fur in some regions, its destructive feeding and burrowing behaviors make this invasive species a pest throughout most of its range.

In the context of CBD, introduction refers to the movement by human agency, indirect or direct, of an alien species outside of its natural range (past or present).

Indeed, the parallels between cancerous cells and invasive species suggest that the principles for successful cancer therapy might be found not in the magic bullets of microbiology but in the evolutionary dynamics of applied ecology.

It is also an issue that is connected to other marine environmental, economic and health problems, including the possible distribution of toxic substances, the destruction of marine habitats and biodiversity, and the transfer of invasive species.

The ability of tumor cells to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions, including toxic chemicals, is similar to the evolutionary capacities demonstrated by crop pests and other invasive species. As in the case of the Diamondback moth, successful eradication of disseminated cancer cells is rare.
