Spatial Epidemiology of the Stony-Coral-Tissue-Loss Disease in Florida [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The stony-coral-tissue-loss disease (SCTLD) has recently caused widespread loss of coral along the Florida reef tract. Yet little is known about where, when, and why this coral disease outbreak occurred.

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

The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe 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.

Quantifying impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease on corals in Southeast Florida through surveys and 3D photogrammetry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Since 2014, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has contributed to substantial declines of reef-building corals in Florida. The emergence of this disease, which impacts over 20 scleractinian coral species, has generated a need for widespread reef ...

Impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease on the persistence of Caribbean cleaner gobies
Frontiers in Marine ScienceBecause 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.

Variable Species Responses to Experimental Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) Exposure
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was initially documented in Florida in 2014 and outbreaks with similar characteristics have since appeared in disparate areas throughout the northern Caribbean, causing significant declines in coral communities ...
