Survival and reinfection rates of SCTLD-affected corals treated in situ with amoxicillin

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The unprecedented mortality to Caribbean corals caused by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) led to the use of an in-water medicine applied directly to disease lesions.
