The 27–year decline of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef and its causes [PDF]

, 2012
This study investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of coral cover, identifies the main drivers of coral mortality, and quantifies the rates of potential recovery of the Great Barrier Reef.The world’s coral reefs are being degraded, and the need to

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 ).

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 ...

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,

Status of Coral Health and Disease in Kessilampe Waters, Kendari, South East Sulawesi

Ilmu Kelautan, 2018
Diseases of coral reef organisms have become a global threat to coral reefs and a major cause of reef deterioration. The presence of coral diseases influence marine resources productivity that interact with coral reefs. The purpose of this research is to

RNA-seq profiles of immune related genes in the staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis infected with white band disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Coral diseases are among the most serious threats to coral reefs worldwide, yet most coral diseases remain poorly understood. How the coral host responds to pathogen infection is an area where very little is known.

Satellite SST-Based Coral Disease Outbreak Predictions for the Hawaiian Archipelago

Remote Sensing, 2016
Predicting wildlife disease risk is essential for effective monitoring and management, especially for geographically expansive ecosystems such as coral reefs in the Hawaiian archipelago.

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.
