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.

The use of algal symbiont cultures (Family Symbiodiniaceae) as model systems to study stony coral tissue loss disease: Use of fractionated disease isolates to help with pathogen identification

, 2023
Since its initial appearance in late summer 2014, Florida’s Coral Reef has experienced unprecedented losses of brain and boulder corals due to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). These coral species appear to be unusually susceptible to this disease,

Assessment of nutrient amendments on stony coral tissue loss disease in Southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
Florida’s coral reefs are facing a multi-year outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) with dramatic consequences for coral communities. However, potential anthropogenic and environmental drivers of SCTLD progression and severity remain poorly

Evaluating the spread of stony coral tissue loss disease in the Bay Islands, Honduras

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Scleractinian corals, considered key reef ecosystem engineers, have suffered irreparable damage over the last decades, with causes widely attributed directly and indirectly to increased human pressure on coral communities. Stony coral tissue loss disease

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.

Connecting the Dots: Transmission of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease From the Marquesas to the Dry Tortugas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
For the last 7 years, Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) has suffered from widespread and severe coral loss caused by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). First observed off the coast of Miami-Dade county in 2014, the outbreak has since spread throughout the

Evaluating the effectiveness of field-based probiotic treatments for stony coral tissue loss disease in southeast Florida, USA

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has spread throughout Florida’s Coral Reef, causing extensive mortality of over 30 species of reef-building corals, and has rapidly spread to many other countries and territories throughout the Caribbean.

Disease Diagnostics and Potential Coinfections by Vibrio coralliilyticus During an Ongoing Coral Disease Outbreak in Florida

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
A deadly coral disease outbreak has been devastating the Florida Reef Tract since 2014. This disease, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), affects at least 22 coral species causing the progressive destruction of tissue.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreaks in The Bahamas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs of Grand Bahama and New Providence islands in The Bahamas have been surveyed several times over the past decade, and long-term monitoring indicates declines in coral cover associated with hurricanes, bleaching events, and local threats ...

Assisted recovery of tissue loss in massive corals Orbicella faveolata: an alternative conservation tool for restoring damaged colonies

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, vital for marine ecosystems and human well‐being, face drastic decline due to climate change effects. In the Caribbean, global disturbances and regional water pollution exacerbate conditions, eliciting disease outbreaks that, in synergy with coral bleaching and hurricanes, cause significant damage to key reef‐building
