Stony coral tissue loss disease: a review of emergence, impacts, etiology, diagnostics, and intervention

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony 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

Gene Expression Response to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Transmission in M. cavernosa and O. faveolata From Florida

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 ...

Microbial Community Shifts Associated With the Ongoing Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak on the Florida Reef Tract [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
As many as 22 of the 45 coral species on the Florida Reef Tract are currently affected by stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). The ongoing disease outbreak was first observed in 2014 in Southeast Florida near Miami and as of early 2019 has been ...

The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis

Frontiers in Marine Science
The unprecedented mortality of stony corals on Florida’s Coral Reef from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was mitigated on some priority sites and corals through the use of a topical amoxicillin paste to halt disease lesion progression.

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.

Assessing the impact of stony coral tissue loss disease on coral cover on Bonaire’s Leeward side

Frontiers in Marine Science
The effects of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) in the Dutch Caribbean, specifically in Bonaire, have not been documented since its first sighting in March 2023.

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.

Frequent coral disease interventions reduces tissue loss [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Stony coral tissue loss disease is a highly contagious coral disease, causing rapid colony mortality and local extinctions. Conducting disease interventions on all corals in a region during an outbreak is virtually impossible, therefore, intervention ...

Impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease on the persistence of Caribbean cleaner gobies

Frontiers in Marine Science
Because they serve as the main architects of coral reefs, the distribution and abundance of stony coral species have major impacts on other associated community members. Thus, coral diseases can have significant cascading effects throughout the ecosystem.

Metabolomics of Healthy and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Affected Montastraea cavernosa Corals

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease, first observed in Florida in 2014, has now spread along the entire Florida Reef Tract and on reefs in many Caribbean countries.
