The SCTLD Resistance Research Consortium

, 2022
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has devastated most of the coral populations along Florida’s Coral Reef over the last five years. Its unique trait of affecting many species at varying infection and virulence rates remains perplexing.

Bacterial Metabolic Potential and Micro-Eukaryotes Enriched in Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Lesions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The epizootic disease outbreak known as stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is arguably the most devastating coral disease in recorded history. SCTLD emerged off the coast of South Florida in 2014 and has since moved into the Caribbean, resulting in ...

Viral-Like Particles Are Associated With Endosymbiont Pathology in Florida Corals Affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first documented in 2014 near the Port of Miami, Florida, and has since spread north and south along Florida’s Coral Reef, killing large numbers of more than 20 species of coral and leading to the functional ...

Fine Scale Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak Within the Lower Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
One of the latest threats to Florida’s Coral Reef is the stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) outbreak which affects all but a few Caribbean scleractinian species and has spread throughout the Caribbean since 2014. Without a known pathogen, ecological

Habitat quality effects on the abundance of a coral-dwelling fish across spatial scales. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Coral‐dwelling fishes are expected to be negatively affected by reef degradation, but the factors underlying this relationship are poorly understood. We showed that the functionally important cleaner fish Elacatinus evelynae is affected by habitat quality metrics across spatial scales, requiring large, healthy coral heads and preferring a subset of ...

Microbial Community Assessment of SCTLD-Affected Montastraea cavernosa and Orbicella faveolata Fragments at Different Lesion Progression Points [PDF]

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a devastating coral disease impacting over 20 species of reef-building corals, characterized by rapid tissue degradation, high mortality rates, and a contagious model of transmission.

Evaluating the small-scale epidemiology of the stony-coral -tissue-loss-disease in the middle Florida Keys.

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 ...

Stony coral tissue loss disease accelerated shifts in coral composition and declines in reef accretion potential in the Florida Keys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Outbreaks of coral disease have been a dominant force shaping western Atlantic coral-reef assemblages since the late 1970s. Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is nonetheless having an unprecedented impact in the region. Whereas numerous studies over
