Status of coral reefs of Little Cayman, Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, British West Indies in 1999 and 2000. (Part 1: Stony corals and algae) [PDF]

, 2003
A benthic assessment of the isolated Cayman Islands was completed at 42 sites. Major changes in the reef community structure were documented by comparison with earlier studies. Acropora palmata and A.

Susceptibility of coral-disease models [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
The scarcity of empirical data on marine diseases highlights the need for epidemiological models that explain patterns and processes. Yakob and Mumby (1) used a generic susceptible-infected model to describe the prevalence of white plague type II disease on a coral population ( Dichocoenia stokesii ).

Visualization of coral host--pathogen interactions using a stable GFP-labeled Vibrio coralliilyticus strain [PDF]

, 2016
The bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus has been implicated as the causative agent of coral tissue loss diseases (collectively known as white syndromes) at sites across the Indo-Pacific and represents an emerging model pathogen for understanding the ...

Phage therapy of coral disease [PDF]

Coral Reefs, 2006
At present there are no known procedures for preventing or treating infectious diseases of corals. Toward this end, the use of phage therapy has been investigated. Lytic bacteriophages (phages) were isolated for two bacterial pathogens that are responsible for coral diseases, Vibrio coralliilyticus, which is the causative agent of bleaching and tissue ...

Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in 2014 near Virginia Key in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Field sampling, lab experiments, and modeling approaches have suggested that reef sediments may play a role in SCTLD transmission, though ...

Tissue loss disease outbreak significantly alters the Southeast Florida stony coral assemblage

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
A stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak, first widely reported in 2014 in the Southeast Florida Ecosystem Conservation Area (Coral ECA), has continued to impact stony coral communities for more than seven years.

Viruses: agents of coral disease? [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006
The potential role of viruses in coral disease has only recently begun to receive attention. Here we describe our attempts to determine whether viruses are present in thermally stressed corals Pavona danai, Acropora formosa and Stylophora pistillata and zoanthids Zoanthus sp., and their zooxanthellae. Heat-shocked P. danai, A.

Hurricanes enhance coral connectivity but also superspread coral diseases

Global Change Biology
AbstractClimate change poses an existential threat to coral reefs. A warmer and more acidic ocean weakens coral ecosystems and increases the intensity of hurricanes. The wind–wave–current interactions during a hurricane deeply change the ocean circulation patterns and hence potentially affect the dispersal of coral larvae and coral disease agents. Here,

Bacterial Metabolic Potential and Micro-Eukaryotes Enriched in Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Lesions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The epizootic disease outbreak known as stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is arguably the most devastating coral disease in recorded history. SCTLD emerged off the coast of South Florida in 2014 and has since moved into the Caribbean, resulting in ...
