Identification and prevalence of coral diseases on three Western Indian Ocean coral reefs
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2015 Coral diseases have caused a substantial decline in the biodiversity and abundance of reef-building corals. To date, more than 30 distinct diseases of scleractinian corals have been reported, which cause progressive tissue loss and/or affect coral growth, reproductive capacity, recruitment, species diversity and the abundance of reef-associated ...

The significance of coral disease epizootiology for coral reef conservation
Biological Conservation, 2000There are many aspects of coral disease that are poorly understood. The relationship, if any, between human activities and the incidence of coral disease is particularly important since it is frequently assumed that the number and prevalence of diseases are increasing, and are indicative of a general decline in the marine environment.

Microbial diseases of corals and global warming
Environmental Microbiology, 2002Summary Coral bleaching and other diseases of corals have increased dramatically during the last few decades. As outbreaks of these diseases are highly correlated with increased sea‐water temperature, one of the consequences of global warming will probably be mass destruction of coral reefs. The causative agent(s)

Northern coral triangle coral ciliates diseases and disease prevention: A first record
Journal of Invertebrate PathologyThis 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.

While 40 different coral diseases have been described globally since the first report in 1973, the causative agents for most cases have yet to be identified. In Japan, a total of ten coral diseases, including black band disease, brown band disease, white syndrome, pigmentation response, and growth anomalies have been confirmed in the field by ...

Diseases of Coral Reef Organisms
1997All 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 ...

Understanding the dynamics of resistance is particularly important for understanding the impacts of disease and predicting evolutionary outcomes for diseases. Predictive epidemiological models include not only terms for transmission of infectious microorganisms, but also terms for host resistance. In susceptible-infected-resistant (SIR) epidemiological

Coral diseases in aquaria and in nature
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2011Many reef coral diseases have been described affecting corals in the wild, several of which have been associated with causal agents based on experimental inoculation and testing of Koch's postulates. In the aquarium industry, many coral diseases and pathologies are known from the grey literature but as yet these have not been systematically described ...

Environmental regulation of ciliates in corals: A secondary pathogen in coral disease
ProtistCiliate invasion in corals is an emerging concern, yet the mechanisms behind their role in disease progression remain unclear. In this study, ciliates were isolated from pigmented lesions of Porites lutea and Acropora muricata and examined for their possible mode of interactions with coral tissues and bacteria.
