Nature, 1975
WE report here diseases of reef corals that seem to be associated with bacterial infection. On reefs around Bermuda, where our field work was carried out in the summer of 1973, the most commonly affected species are the brain corals Diploria labyrintheformis and D. strigosa (Fig. 1).

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.

Microbial disease and the coral holobiont
Trends in Microbiology, 2009Tropical 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2023
AbstractMicrobial infection of immune‐compromised corals influences disease severity, resulting in coral mortality. However, coral‐associated beneficial bacteria are known to produce antimicrobial compounds that prevent the growth of potential pathogens and invading microbes.

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

Shading reduces coral-disease progression
Coral Reefs, 2009The growing incidence of tropical-marine diseases is attributed to increases in pathogen prevalence and virulence associated with global warming. Additionally, the compromised-host hypothesis suggests that rising ocean temperatures may increase disease activity by making the corals more susceptible to ubiquitous pathogens.

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.

Beyond predation: Fish–coral interactions can tip the scales of coral disease
Journal of Theoretical BiologyCoral reefs are critical ecosystems, fostering biodiversity and sustaining the livelihoods of millions globally. Nonetheless, they confront escalating threats, with infectious diseases emerging as primary catalysts for extensive damage, surpassing the impacts of other human-induced stressors. Disease transmission via biotic factors, particularly during
