Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCoral reef ecosystems have rapidly degraded under the combined pressures of climate change and human activities, with diseases further eroding ecosystem function and habitat resilience.

Some coral diseases track climate oscillations in the Caribbean [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Disease outbreaks continue to reduce coral populations worldwide. Understanding coral diseases and their relationships with environmental drivers is necessary to forecast disease outbreaks, and to predict future changes in coral populations.

Coral diseases and bleaching on Colombian Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010 Since 1998 the National Monitoring System for the Coral Reefs of Colombia (SIMAC) has monitored the occurrence of coral bleaching and diseases in some Colombian coral reefs (permanent stations at San Andres Island, Rosario Islands, Tayrona, San Bernardo ...

Environmental Advances, 2022 Although knowledge on the diseases affecting corals has been accumulating exponentially since the 2000s, even more effort is required to summarize and guide further investigation. Here, we used the Web of Science database to review 226 studies published,

Assessment of multiple probiotic strains that protect Montipora capitata coral from infection by Vibrio coralliilyticus [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumCoral disease outbreaks threaten reef ecosystems, often leading to widespread mortality and declines in coral cover. Outbreaks of tissue loss diseases like acute Montipora white syndrome (aMWS) have impacted coral populations that include the Hawaiian ...

Hurricanes enhance coral connectivity but also superspread coral diseases
Global Change BiologyAbstractClimate 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,

Widespread Occurrence of Coral Growth Anomalies in the Republic of Maldives
Diversity, 2023 In the last decades, there has been a concerning increase in the frequency and severity of coral disease outbreaks on a global scale, resulting in significant damage to the coral reef ecosystem and biodiversity.

Identification of coral disease within the high-latitude reef, Lord Howe Island Marine Park
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Coral disease prevalence has significantly increased under a changing climate, impacting coral community structure and functionality. The impacts and ecology of coral diseases are unclear in most high-latitude reefs (coral reefs above 28° north and below

Coral diversity and disease in Mexico [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006 Field studies and empirical tests of the 'diversity-disease hypothesis' demonstrate the effects of species richness on disease transmission and severity in plant systems. Yet the converse, i.e. effects of disease on diversity, is rarely considered in either relatively well-studied plant systems or marine ecosystems.

Coral immunology and resistance to disease [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010 Scleractinian corals (phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa) have innate immunological responses against infections. Research has recently suggested that corals also possess an adaptive-like immunological repertoire that recognizes specific pathogens and allografts.
