Evaluation of in vitro treatments against the causative agent of Diadema antillarum scuticociliatosis (DaSc)

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms
In the 1980s, a mass die-off of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum occurred on Florida and Caribbean coral reefs. D. antillarum populations largely did not recover, and in 2022, remaining populations experienced another mass mortality event. A ciliate most similar to Philaster apodigitiformis was identified as the causative agent of the 2022

The Ecological Role of Keystone Herbivore Diadema antillarum in Promoting Indices of Caribbean Coral Reef Health

, 2020
The detrimental effects on coral reef health, following the devastation of keystone herbivore Diadema antillarum populations in 1983-1984 due to a waterborne pathogen, are still evident in the Caribbean today. D.
