The role of coral diseases in the flattening of a Caribbean Coral Reef over 23 years

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
Coral diseases acting synergistically with other environmental stressors are a growing problem for Caribbean reefs. Hard coral cover, coral traits, and coral diseases were examined from 1999 to 2021 for Akumal reef, located in the Northern Mexican Caribbean. The 45 recorded coral species were classified into life-history strategies: competitive, stress-

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%

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 ...

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.

Coral Resistance to Disease

2004
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

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.

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.

Microbial diseases of corals and global warming

Environmental Microbiology, 2002
Summary 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)

The significance of coral disease epizootiology for coral reef conservation

Biological Conservation, 2000
There 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.

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 ...
