Characterization of the Microbiome of Corals with Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease along Florida’s Coral Reef [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is an emergent and often lethal coral disease that was first reported near Miami, FL (USA) in 2014. Our objective was to determine if coral colonies showing signs of SCTLD possess a specific microbial signature ...

A comparative baseline of coral disease in three regions along the Saudi Arabian coast of the central Red Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Coral disease is a growing problem for coral reefs globally and diseases have been linked to thermal stress, excess nutrients, overfishing and other human impacts.

Advances in coral immunity ‘omics in response to disease outbreaks
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral disease has progressively become one of the most pressing issues affecting coral reef survival. In the last 50 years, several reefs throughout the Caribbean have been severely impacted by increased frequency and intensity of disease outbreaks ...

Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks
PLoS Biology, 2007 Very little is known about how environmental changes such as increasing temperature affect disease dynamics in the ocean, especially at large spatial scales. We asked whether the frequency of warm temperature anomalies is positively related to the frequency of coral disease across 1,500 km of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 One of the latest threats to Florida’s Coral Reef is the stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak which affects all but a few Caribbean scleractinian species and has spread throughout the Caribbean since 2014. Without a known pathogen, ecological

The urgent need for robust coral disease diagnostics. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Coral disease has emerged over recent decades as a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems, with declines in coral cover and diversity of Caribbean reefs providing an example of the potential impacts of disease at regional scales.
