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 ...

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.

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.

Similarities and Differences Between Two Deadly Caribbean Coral Diseases: White Plague and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
For several decades, white plagues (WPDs: WPD-I, II and III) and more recently, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) have significantly impacted Caribbean corals.

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.
