Impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease on the persistence of Caribbean cleaner gobies
Frontiers in Marine ScienceBecause they serve as the main architects of coral reefs, the distribution and abundance of stony coral species have major impacts on other associated community members. Thus, coral diseases can have significant cascading effects throughout the ecosystem.

An emerging coral disease outbreak decimated Caribbean coral populations and reshaped reef functionality [PDF]
, 2021 Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs, linked to major declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and reef-related ecosystems services1-3. An outbreak of a new disease is currently rampaging through the populations of the

Evaluating the effect of amoxicillin treatment on the microbiome of Orbicella faveolata with Caribbean yellow band disease [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyHost microbiomes play a key role in coral disease dynamics; thus, it is essential to characterize microbial communities of diseased tissues and identify how they are altered by potential treatments, especially as coral reef populations continue to ...

Coral disease hotspots in the Caribbean [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2017 Recent outbreaks of coral diseases in the Caribbean have been linked to increasingly stressful sea-surface temperatures (SSTs). Yet, ocean warming is spatially heterogeneous and therefore has the potential to lead to hotspots of disease activity.

Nature Communications, 2023 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), one of the most pervasive and virulent coral diseases on record, affects over 22 species of reef-building coral and is decimating reefs throughout the Caribbean. To understand how different coral species and their

Arnfried Antonius, coral diseases, and the AMLC
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 The study of coral diseases, coral pathogens, and the effects of diseases on tropical and subtropical coral reefs are all current, high-profile research areas. This interest has grown steadily since the first report of a coral disease in 1973. The author

Characterisation of the bacterial and fungal communities associated with different lesion sizes of dark spot syndrome occurring in the coral Stephanocoenia intersepta. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The number and prevalence of coral diseases/syndromes are increasing worldwide. Dark Spot Syndrome (DSS) afflicts numerous coral species and is widespread throughout the Caribbean, yet there are no known causal agents.

Aspergillus sydowii and Other Potential Fungal Pathogens in Gorgonian Octocorals of the Ecuadorian Pacific. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Emerging fungal diseases are threatening ecosystems and have increased in recent decades. In corals, the prevalence and consequences of these infections have also increased in frequency and severity. Coral reefs are affected by an emerging fungal disease
