Sediment and turbidity associated with offshore dredging increase coral disease prevalence on nearby reefs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In recent decades, coral reef ecosystems have declined to the extent that reefs are now threatened globally. While many water quality parameters have been proposed to contribute to reef declines, little evidence exists conclusively linking specific water

Coral disease outbreak at the remote Flower Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 East and West Flower Garden Bank (FGB) are part of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) in the northwest Gulf of Mexico. This geographically-isolated reef system contains extensive coral communities with the highest coral cover (>50%)

First Report of Potential Coral Disease in the Coral Hatchery of Thailand [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 In this study, coral disease was first reported in the coral hatchery in Thailand. Disease were usually found on corals aged two to five years old during the months of November to December of each year. To identify bacterial strains, culture-based methods for strain isolation and molecular techniques of the 16S rRNA gene analysis were used.

Baseline coral disease surveys within three marine parks in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Two of the most significant threats to coral reefs worldwide are bleaching and disease. However, there has been a scarcity of research on coral disease in South-East Asia, despite the high biodiversity and the strong dependence of local communities on ...

The role of viruses in coral health and disease [PDF]
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2017 Metagenomic and electron microscopy studies confirm that the coral microbiome contains a rich diversity and abundance of viruses. While there have been no definitive tests of disease causation by viruses in corals, viruses have been implicated as coral pathogens in a number of studies.
