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.

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 ...

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease and Other Diseases Affect Adults and Recruits of Major Reef Builders at Different Spatial Scales in the Dominican Republic [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Monitoring programs can help understand coral disease dynamics. Here, we present results from a national program in the Dominican Republic (DR) aimed at evaluating coral diseases 3 times a year following a nested spatial design.

Coral affected by stony coral tissue loss disease can produce viable offspring [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has caused high mortality of at least 25 coral species across the Caribbean, with Pseudodiploria strigosa being the second most affected species in the Mexican Caribbean.

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 ...

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

bioRxiv, 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

Stony coral tissue loss disease induces transcriptional signatures of in situ degradation of dysfunctional Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), one of the most pervasive and virulent coral diseases on record, affects over 22 species of reef-building coral and is decimating reefs throughout the Caribbean. To understand how different coral species and their
