Characterization of black band disease in Red Sea stony corals
Environmental Microbiology, 2007Summary Microbial communities associated with black band disease (BBD) in massive stony corals from the Northern Red Sea (Eilat) were examined for the first time using molecular tools and microscopy. A high microbial diversity was revealed in the affected tissue in comparison with the healthy area of the same ...

Abstract Impacts from human-induced direct-use perturbations on coral colonies are on the rise. Despite significant incidences of coral disease on a global-wide basis, too few studies have verified the sources of diseases affecting coral colonies. To determine if branching coral communities are prone to infection with black band disease, brown band ...

Cyanobacterial mats as benthic reservoirs and vectors for coral black band disease pathogens
Ecological Applications, 2022AbstractThe concurrent rise in the prevalence of conspicuous benthic cyanobacterial mats and the incidence of coral diseases independently mark major axes of degradation of coral reefs globally. Recent advances have uncovered the potential for the existence of interactions between the expanding cover of cyanobacterial mats and coral disease, especially

Microbial transcriptome profiling of black band disease in a Faviid coral during a seasonal disease peak [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016 The etiology of black band disease (BBD), a persistent, globally distributed coral disease characterized by a dark microbial mat, is still unclear. A metatranscriptomics approach was used to unravel the roles of the major mat constituents in the disease process.

Black-band disease dynamics: Prevalence, incidence, and acclimatization to light
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011Abstract Black-band disease (BBD) is a temperature- and light-dependent syndrome typically found on shallow-dwelling corals. The bacterial consortium that creates BBD contains a photosynthetic cyanobacterium, which is particularly sensitive to light.

Prevalence, host range, and spatial distribution of black band disease in the Maldivian Archipelago [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2013 Little research has been conducted on diseases affecting reef-building corals in the central Indian Ocean. During 2010 and 2011, we performed a quantitative assessment of black band disease (BBD) in the central Republic of Maldives. Distribution, host range, and prevalence of BBD were investigated at 6 coral islands (Magoodhoo, Adanga, Ihuru ...

The Possible Role of Cyanobacterial Filaments in Coral Black Band Disease Pathology
Microbial Ecology, 2013Black band disease (BBD), characterized by a black mat or line that migrates across a coral colony leaving behind it a bare skeleton, is a persistent disease affecting massive corals worldwide. Previous microscopic and molecular examination of this disease in faviid corals from the Gulf of Eilat revealed a number of possible pathogens with the most ...

Black band disease (BBD) was the first coral disease to be reported in the literature (Antonius 1973). It was first noted on reefs of Belize in the western Caribbean, and was described as a striking microbial assemblage that formed a band which moved across apparently healthy coral colonies, actively destroying coral tissue and leaving behind the bare ...

Microcystin production and ecological physiology of Caribbean black band disease cyanobacteria
Environmental Microbiology, 2010Summary Molecular studies of black band disease (BBD), a coral disease found on tropical and subtropical reefs worldwide, have shown that one 16S rRNA gene sequence is ubiquitous. This sequence has been reported to be a member of the cyanobacterial genus Oscillatoria .
