Investigating microbial size classes associated with the transmission of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Effective treatment and prevention of any disease necessitates knowledge of the causative agent, yet the causative agents of most coral diseases remain unknown, in part due to the difficulty of distinguishing the pathogenic microbe(s) among the complex ...

Shifts in the microbiome and virome are associated with stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) [PDF]
ISME CommunicationsAbstract Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading lethal coral disease, the etiology of which remains poorly understood. In this study, using deep metagenomic sequencing, we investigated microbial and viral community dynamics associated with SCTLD progression in the Caribbean stony coral Diploria labyrinthiformis.
