Progressive chronic tissue loss disease in Siderastrea siderea on Florida's coral reef. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Stony 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.

Runaway coral-algal dysbiosis may be responsible for rapid coral tissue loss [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) affects at least 22 Western Atlantic coral species and presents as focal or multifocal lesions, which swiftly expand across the colony, resulting in rapid tissue loss and mortality.

Microbiome dynamics in healthy and SCTLD diseased colonies of foundational coral species in La Parguera, Puerto Rico

Abstract Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading coral disease that has caused significant mortality throughout the northern Caribbean. Curiously, its underlying causes and microbiome dynamics remain unclear.

Biofilms as potential reservoirs of stony coral tissue loss disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Since 2014, corals throughout Florida’s Coral Reef have been plagued by an epizootic of unknown etiology, colloquially termed stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD).

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

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.

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 ...

Effect of species, size, and chimerism on the susceptibility of Caribbean brain coral recruits to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract 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 recruits to this disease. Here, we exposed eight-month-old

Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the first systematic survey of coral disease diversity and prevalence in the nearshore regions of the northern South China Sea. Six common diseases and eight stress‐related phenomena were documented across seven sites, revealing distinct regional patterns and host‐specific susceptibilities.
