Shell disease syndromes of decapod crustaceans. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2023 Abstract The term shell disease subsumes a number of debilitating conditions affecting the outer integument (the carapace) of decapod crustaceans, such as lobsters and crabs. Herein, we seek to find commonality in the aetiology and pathology of such conditions, and those cases that result in the progressive erosion of the cuticle through to the ...

Microbiome Composition in a Common Mediterranean Bryozoan Following an Unprecedented Marine Heatwave. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepMyriapora truncata exhibits microbiome compositional changes after the 2022 marine heatwave, despite the absence of visible necrosis. These findings highlight host‐associated microbes as early indicators of thermal stress in Mediterranean benthic ecosystems.

Opportunistic diseases in marine eukaryotes: Could Bacteroidota be the next threat to ocean life? [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2022 Abstract Bacteria within the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteroidetes) are known to cause devastating and widespread disease outbreaks in marine eukaryotic hosts. However, with few pathogens described in detail, their prevalence and virulence strategies remain largely unknown.

A Novel Crustavirus as a Candidate Aetiology of Tail Fan Necrosis in New Zealand Red Rock Lobsters, Jasus edwardsii. [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Tail fan necrosis (TFN) is a shell disease affecting spiny lobsters' outer integument, with significant implications for the health and commercial viability of red rock lobsters (Jasus edwardsii) in New Zealand. Despite its impact, the potential role of a microbial agent in TFN remains poorly understood.

Standardized 16S Meta-Analysis Reveals Consistent Host-Associated Patterns in Laminariales Epiphytic Microbiomes. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenAn integrated bioinformatic pipeline combining taxonomic, functional, and network analyses revealed host‐driven structuring of macroalgal microbiomes. Phaeophyceae hosted distinct epiphytic communities enriched in chemoheterotrophy and polysaccharide degradation, highlighting metabolic coupling, keystone taxa, and a standardized framework for ...

Cryptic Interactions in a Marine Microcosm: Sponges Shape the Microbiome of a Resident Goby. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Microbial symbionts influence ecological and evolutionary processes in their multicellular hosts; yet they remain poorly characterised in marine systems. Sponges host exceptionally diverse microbiomes, potentially providing rich microbial reservoirs for their residents.
