Susceptibility of Caribbean Brain Coral Recruits to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD)
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has devastated coral populations along Florida’s Coral Reef and beyond. Although widespread infection and mortality of adult colonies have been documented, no studies have yet investigated the susceptibility of ...

Variable Species Responses to Experimental Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) Exposure [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was initially documented in Florida in 2014 and outbreaks with similar characteristics have since appeared in disparate areas throughout the northern Caribbean, causing significant declines in coral communities ...

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

Stony coral tissue loss disease: a review of emergence, impacts, etiology, diagnostics, and intervention [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine ScienceStony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is destructive and poses a significant threat to Caribbean coral reef ecosystems. Characterized by the acute loss of coral tissue, SCTLD has impacted over 22 stony coral species across the Caribbean region, leading

Reef Sediments Can Act As a Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Vector
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 ...

Evaluating the small-scale epidemiology of the stony-coral -tissue-loss-disease in the middle Florida Keys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Along the Florida reef tract, stony-coral-tissue-loss disease (SCTLD) has caused extensive mortality of more than 20 scleractinian coral species. The pathogen is unknown, but its epizoology indicates that the disease, facilitated by water currents, has ...

Progressive chronic tissue loss disease in Siderastrea siderea on Florida's coral reef. [PDF]
PLoS ONEStony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has devastated numerous species of corals across the Western Atlantic but one reef coral, Siderastrea siderea, displays unusual tissue loss lesions. We examined the dynamics of lesions in S.
