Coral Disease Causes, Consequences, and Risk within Coral Restoration

Trends in Microbiology, 2020
As a result of increased reef degradation, restoration efforts are now being widely applied on coral reefs. However, outplanted coral survival in restoration zones varies substantially, and coral mortality can be a significant limitation to the success of restoration efforts.

To Understand Coral Disease, Look at Coral Cells

EcoHealth, 2014
Diseases threaten corals globally, but 40 years on their causes remain mostly unknown. We hypothesize that inconsistent application of a complete diagnostic approach to coral disease has contributed to this slow progress. We quantified methods used to investigate coral disease in 492 papers published between 1965 and 2013. Field surveys were used in 65%

Seasonal coral-algae interactions drive White Mat Syndrome coral disease outbreaks

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Ocean warming drives not only the increase of known coral disease prevalence but facilitates the emergence of new undescribed ones too. As climate change is restructuring coral ecosystems, novel biological interactions could lead to an increase in coral disease in both tropical and marginal coral communities.

Coral Diseases Cause Reef Decline

Science, 2013
There has been a great deal of discussion about the role of bleaching in coral reef degradation worldwide ([ 1 ][1]–[ 3 ][2]), but little focus on the numerous other coral diseases that are also causing substantial declines.

Coral diseases in Bermuda

Nature, 1975
WE report here diseases of reef corals that seem to be associated with bacterial infection. On reefs around Bermuda, where our field work was carried out in the summer of 1973, the most commonly affected species are the brain corals Diploria labyrintheformis and D. strigosa (Fig. 1).

Northern coral triangle coral ciliates diseases and disease prevention: A first record

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
This study is the first to report ciliate infection on soft corals in the Northern Coral Triangle. Infected Briareum violacea will undergo tissue ulceration and death within a short period of time. This ciliate was identified as Scuticociliatia sp. through 18S rRNA gene identification.

Microbial disease and the coral holobiont

Trends in Microbiology, 2009
Tropical coral reefs harbour a reservoir of enormous biodiversity that is increasingly threatened by direct human activities and indirect global climate shifts. Emerging coral diseases are one serious threat implicated in extensive reef deterioration through disruption of the integrity of the coral holobiont - a complex symbiosis between the coral ...

Diseases of Coral Reef Organisms

1997
All coral reef organisms are susceptible to diseases, as are terrestrial organisms, but studying these diseases can be more difficult and much remains to be learned. Although health impairments of corals were first recognized only in the early 1970s, increasing numbers of infectious and non-infectious diseases, causing morbidity and mortality in ...
