Antibiotic Treatment Ameliorates the Impact of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) on Coral Communities [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stony coral tissue loss disease has spread widely in the Caribbean and causes substantial changes to coral community composition because of its broad host range and high fatality rate.

Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first observed in 2014 near Virginia Key in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Field sampling, lab experiments, and modeling approaches have suggested that reef sediments may play a role in SCTLD transmission, though ...

Effectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Since 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has led to mass mortality of the majority of hard coral species on the Florida Reef Tract. Following the successful treatment of SCTLD lesions on laboratory corals using water dosed with antibiotics ...

Gene Expression Response to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Transmission in M. cavernosa and O. faveolata From Florida [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Since 2014, corals within Florida’s Coral Reef have been dying at an unprecedented rate due to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). Here we describe the transcriptomic outcomes of three different SCTLD transmission experiments performed at the ...

Variability of morphological descriptors in Sicilian oat (Avena sativa L.) populations [PDF]

Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 5, Page 2469-2488, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Due to its rusticity and feasibility of use, oat (Avena sativa L.) represents a crucial agronomic and economic resource for many semiarid environments. Presently, the recourse to new commercial varieties has caused a dramatic lowering of areas covered with the traditional local genotypes, and a severe risk of genetic erosion is emerging.

Similarities and Differences Between Two Deadly Caribbean Coral Diseases: White Plague and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
For several decades, white plagues (WPDs: WPD-I, II and III) and more recently, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) have significantly impacted Caribbean corals.

Shifts in the microbiome and virome are associated with stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). [PDF]

ISME Commun
Abstract 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.

Measuring Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Induction and Lesion Progression Within Two Intermediately Susceptible Species, Montastraea cavernosa and Orbicella faveolata

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
During the last several decades, Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) has been impacted by both global and local stressors that have devastated much of its living coral cover.
